Organizations Filed Purposes:
To train and support indigenous healthcare and faith leaders in underdeveloped communities to treat Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) and other endemic conditions effecting the poorest community members by pairing faith-based solutions with best practices.
Local leaders, who have participated in our training conferences, took what they have learned and implemented their plans to address and eradicate the neglected conditions in their communities. While many of these efforts took place autonomously, additional support was often needed in order for these leaders to be properly equipped to fully implement their plans. Consultation and continuous feedback was provided to the participants and their colleagues. Yet, the depth and breadth of this work required some additional assistance in the field. Our African and Indian directors helped fulfill this need in order to quickly assess and assist with whatever issues were presented. This role also allowed for quick and efficient communications with those in Africa and India as well as increased accountability. Seed grants were provided to fill in the gaps in project design & implementation where no local resources were available. These grants were primarily catalysts in order to provide enough momentum and basic infrastructure for the local leaders to continue with their projects long after the grant funds were exhausted. Sustainable income projects were also funded to further enhance the longevity of the projects. 309,643 people received medical and spiritual care as a result of their efforts. Restrictions on large gatherings decreased the impact relative to previous years; however, over 1.7 million lives transformed since 2014.
the world pandemic created a unique situation where our long-term partners faced unprecedented trials and struggles that decimated health systems and brought communities to the brink of starvation. Travel funds and training resources that could not be utilized due to the worldwide travel restrictions were reallocated to help provide critical food and healthcare aide and help prevent the spread of COVID-19. 12,367 children and their families were brought back from the edges of starvation and provided with essential healthcare during this time when the local governments and systems did not have the capacity do provide this aide.
Additional curriculum as well as key updates were developed for the training conferences during this period. Material was developed as medical modules and PowerPoints, and previous material both simplified and translated for use in the village setting. Local leaders also created songs and even music videos to share these concepts. All material was fully annotated and include both best practices as well as current literature on the diseases. The material was written in collaboration once again with US, African, and Asian authors, with full credit given to each author. Input was sought from indigenous medical and faith leaders. This was paired with the scientific research in order to create simple, end-user documents for each disease.
