Medical Clinics / School Building Projects
The lack of infrastructure in developing countries is more than just an inconvenience. For the poor, it is a daily hardship that translates into reduced access to basics like healthcare and education. World Children's Fund has provided financial support around the globe to construct and operate medical clinics and build schools in countries like Uganda, the Philippines, Zambia, Kenya and Liberia.
In Liberia, WCF sponsors the on-going operations of a pre-natal clinic and well baby clinic and also a birthing center. World Children's fund also provides financial support for on-going operations for a medical clinic in Kenya that provides health care for poor and marginalized children and families.
Thanks to our committed partners and donors, we are able to support projects and programmes that build communities and bring hope to struggling villages and people.
Displaced children and orphans, who previously had little hope, are thriving at The World Children’s Fund Mama Kevina secondary school in Uganda. The students range in age from eleven to twenty-four and are mostly from northern Uganda, where they have been affected by ongoing wars, floods and HIV/AIDS. Many of their parents were killed by rebels or died from AIDS, creating a large orphan population. Boys attending the school were forced to be child soldiers and many other children were separated from their families as they moved from village to village seeking refuge.
