Completed Project:
Health clinic redevelopment and medicines
July 30 – August 5
Our research shows that Tasajera community members are vulnerable to multiple medical conditions, a state that is exacerbated by the lack of public medical services. EMANA, together with Central Assembly of God church and local women’s group ARTESANAS collaborated to rebuild a health clinic and provide medications. Free physiotherapy clinics were also provided related, and more health-related data from Tasajeran people was collected.
Tasajera Summer School project
For a period of 8 weeks we hosted 75 kids, youth, and community members to impart free classes of different subjects including Reading/Writing, computers, English, Water Filtration, Mathematics, and Organic Gardening.
Partners: Sol de Tasajera + ADESCO Tasajera + Central Assembly of God, PA
