It only costs $250 per month to provide healthcare for all 75 children and staff at the Paul School for the Blind in Bo, Sierra Leone!
If a child cuts her foot on a piece of broken tile and the cut becomes infected, it takes thorough persuading to convince her to attend the hospital. Many of the children associate hospitals with death. Hospital treatments are very expensive, and, as such, many individuals in Sierra Leone attend the hospital as a last resort. As a result, their injuries may be too damaged to treat, and they pass away in the hospital.
By providing the children with monthly healthcare checkups, a doctor can come to them and treat them in the safety of the school grounds! Lord willing, none of the children’s injuries or diseases will get to the point of a hospital stay as long as a doctor comes to treat them regularly.
