Schedule O:

“Vehicle maintenance: This provides maintenance and fuel for the motorcycle, which provides transportation to Smart Mtonga, who serves full-time in the community. It also provides maintenance for the Gator, which allows us to transport malnutrition supplies, planting and harvesting of the malnutrition (maize and soy). Clinic Maintenance: This category provides for cleaning and supplies, needed repairs, and other necessary items to keep the clinic in clean and working order so that we can sere our community. Transportation: Transportation provides funding to transport, either by truck or bus, the people needing medical services, as well as needed supplies including rice, soy/maize meals, clothes, blankets, medical supplies and construction materials to the sites within our zone. Salama Stove Project: This money is being used to purchase sheet metal and other supplies to build stoves. This will be used to fabricate stoves, even while teaching community members a trade that they can use to support their families, while supplying stoves that are fuel-efficient and prevent deforestation. The stoves also vent toxic gases out of the homes and prevent burns, unlike the open fires utilized for cooking in most homes. Indoor Residual Spraying for Malaria: While malaria is endemic in all of Zambia, it has caused less morbidity and mortality in our area, which is within the most devastated part of Rufunsa District due to the national best standard in the Ministry of Health. This is the result of indoor residual spraying as performed by the Chifundo Rural Health Center. It has reduced our malaria to less than 1% incidence compared to previous years and also compared to neighboring catchments areas. This has decreased the cost of treatment, as well as its impact on malnutrition for our community members. Staff Development: There are individuals who've committed to serving wit The Chifundo Rural Health Center upon completion of their education but lack the financial means to do so. These individuals ensure the long-term viability and staffing of the hospital from Zambian nationals rather than foreigners. We have identified the individuals that require educational support and funds are designated to the college on their behalf. This is only a brief summary of the work performed by and through Chifundo Rural Health Center whose work is complimented by Chifundo Medical Missions, INC.”
