New Langano (Ethiopia) Medical Clinic

 

Our newest project is to build a medical clinic which will serve approximately 20,000 people in the Langano area. The new clinic will provide immediate life-saving and routine medical care for the people in the Dawe and adjacent communities. There is a great need for the clinic as the residents currently must walk many miles to the nearest clinic, with no appointments or guarantee they will be seen that day.

 

The total cost of the project is $158,000. Your donation will help cover the cost of constructing the clinic, six months of salaries for up to twelve staff members, diagnostic and imaging equipment, obstetrics equipment and neonatal resuscitation equipment, and other miscellaneous medical instruments.

Please use the blue donate button below to ensure your donations go directly to the clinic. Thank you! 

Our Resident Doctor

Dr. Dedefo

Dedefo grew up in a straw hut in the Dawe community. He is the first licensed doctor from his impoverished village of 15,000 people. Langano Harvest Foundation helped Dedefo obtain his nursing degree as well as provided support to help him attend medical school to become a licensed doctor. Dedefo decided to remain in the community and serve his people rather than move to Addis Ababa or leave his country for the "good life". His dream is to have this clinic so that he may serve his local community which is in desperate need.

Helping Others

Many attempts were made to reach clean well water in this area of Langano but unfortunately the depth was too great. Finally, new drilling equipment was developed, so water now flows to provide for over 10,000 people in this community! They used to haul old vegetable oil containers many kilometers one-way via donkey to fetch water from unclean sources.  This well was life-changing.

New schools, teachers' housing, livestock and farming projects, clean water wells, basic sanitation, public electricity, and business development.  Above are just some of the projects we've sponsored. Thank you to all who have supported and prayed for us.
