Healthcare Schemes

A healthy population constitutes a healthy productive society followed by a healthy economy. The poverty-stricken African countries are faced with a difficult challenge to provide sufficient health facilities to an ever-growing population, where the Foundation plays its role to fight the deplorable state of health affairs in such nations through comprehensive programs.

1. Wj Mudolo Medical Assistance (MMA) Program

Surging medicinal costs during emergencies and instant hospitalization result in severe traumatic distress and financial crisis for the families facing the same. Owing to affordable but restricted and limited insurance plans, most people are not secured with full medical coverage, even in mortal illnesses or life-threatening conditions. The MMA Program seeks to attend to such situations by providing direct medical aid from the Foundation itself or indirectly via funds gathered from well-to-do individuals of the society using the crowd-funding program.

A) DIRECT MMA PROGRAM

The Foundation, under its direct funding program supports vulnerable people coming from the most economically necessitous and deprived segments of the society for hospitalization and medical treatments done in mission or community hospitals or in the respective country’s public hospitals. National governments in Africa are motivated to upgrade their health infrastructure and its functioning to restore public confidence and trust in state’s medical schemes. It is for this reason that financial support for medical treatments in foreign lands as well as private-sector hospitals within the country are hereby not supported under this program. Applications for medical support shall be made in the Foundation’s duly approved form, to which funds are endowed in accordance with the allocated share of each country within Africa, and therefore cannot be promised to all applicants.

B) INDIRECT MMA CROWD-FUNDING PROGRAM

The crowd-funding program is used by the Foundation to take advantage of its well-organized network of peers as well as unknown but considerate citizens stretched across the globe to accumulate funds to be devoted to its medical projects through collection drives and online campaigns. In order to keep the fundraising activities transparent and efficient, instead of accumulating funds with any individual fund raiser, proceeds generated from such fund raisers are directly conveyed to the hospital or facility where the recipient patient had been or shall be admitted. This eliminates any possible delays or unnecessary fees from being charged. Under special circumstances, the amounts collected are further added upon by us to arrange for any necessary requirements if the patient belongs to an underprivileged family. Unlike direct funding program, restrictions as to treatments in foreign lands or private-sector hospitals are not imposed on funding made through indirect crowd-funding.

2. Wj Mudolo Ambulance Service (MAS) Program

Sufferers and vulnerable people in destitute communities are provided with subsidized ambulance service facilities comprising basic first-aid centers, first-aid kits, and medically equipped vehicles, including 3-wheeled motorbikes as well as van ambulances. Communities that are qualified and have self-sufficiency or reliable government support are encouraged to avail themselves of the opportunity of the ambulance service program, which offers: 
 
  • Advanced Life Support (ALS) 
  • Critical Care Transport (CCT) 
  • Neo-Natal Transports 

Personnel responsible for operating ambulance services may also render such services within their respective communities during events in order to make additional earnings for the smooth maintenance and continuance of the ambulance service. Such events may include: 
 
  • Gatherings and conventions 
  • Concerts and social festivals of all scales 
  • Sporting Events and Galas 
  • Social Runs, Walks, and Marathons

3. Wj Mudolo Health Awareness Initiative (MHAI)

The initiative aims to financially support and aid non-profit organizations engaged in conducting campaigns to disseminate awareness about major health concerns facing Africa, hygiene precautions, and steps to prevent diseases especially for the disadvantaged segments of the society. Non-governmental organizations of medical practitioners volunteering for advancement of health conditions in Africa have considerable changes to obtain such support.

THE MHAI SUPPORTS PUBLIC AWARENESS PROJECTS, PERTAINING TO THE FOLLOWING SUBJECTS: 
  • Informing the general public as to the prevention, signs, symptoms, and treatment of diseases.
  • Reformation of public attitudes towards certain diseases and their control.
  • Circulation and acceptance of educational material to promote healthy lifestyles.
  • Adverse effects of alcohol, smoking, drugs, and substance abuse. 
  • Provision of befitting facilities and an accommodating environment for the differently abled citizens. 
  • Supporting non-profit organizations spreads the word about health and well-being through visual arts and performances such as street plays, shows, tableaus, and dramas. Activities to circulate information that involve youth, such as marches, debates, camps, exhibitions, rallies, and others, are utilized, realizing that children act as the best mediums of information and conveying them to their households effectively. 
THE FOUNDATION SEEKS TO CONDUCT AND SUPPORT HEALTH AWARENESS PROGRAMS TO ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING MILESTONES:
  • To refine the medical skills and aptitude of health professionals and enhance their knowledge base about prevention, signs, symptoms, treatment of diseases, and precautionary measures. 
  • Inculcation of responsibility to treat patients effectively among health professionals.
  • To ease access to healthcare resources to be utilized by professionals. 
  • To promote medical research and development with the aim of combating health challenges. 
  • To encourage educational campaigns for the dissemination of accurate and reliable information regarding the identification, prevention, and treatment of medical conditions, diseases, and pandemics.

4. Wj Mudolo Hospitals And Community Clinics (MHCC) Program

The Foundation through its MHCC Program aims to improve the overall healthcare experience faced by people in the rural and countryside areas of Africa. Under the program, non-profit organizations and respective governments are provided funds to develop healthcare infrastructure and improve the existing facilities so as to provide essential treatments complying with reasonable medical standards which is accessible as well as affordable by all. To work on such improvements, the said organizations are given grants to meet purposes ranging from purchasing and replenishing medical supplies to expending over major mega-projects.

5. Wj Mudolo Planned Parenthood And Sanitation-for-women (MPPSW) Program

The MPPSW Program aims to promote societal health & ultimate economical patterns by encouraging the exercise of family planning within the disadvantaged populations through funds given to non-governmental organizations providing family planning services and convenient options for birth contraception to African families seeking them. The program further supports organizations struggling to install and/or improve the functioning of health centers, remote clinics, and community health volunteers working towards birth-control awareness campaigns and availability of contraceptive products and services. Advocating its vision for a healthy female population in Africa, the Foundation extends its provision of support to organizations and local governments working to advance the availability of sanitary products for the indigent female population in slums and shanty towns constituting the most backward regions of Africa. Assessing the effectiveness of activities involving family planning services along with the acceptance and convenient access to sanitary products for young women and girls merits particular attention and is thus being paid close attention in order to meet success. Our awareness programs aim to stimulate understanding of women’s separate hygienic needs among students in projects surrounding school settings, where access to hygienic conditions, toilets, and sanitary products is emphasized. Gender mainstreaming and keeping the effects of policies upon people belonging to different genders is key to ensure success of MPPSW programs.

6. Wj Mudolo Water, Sanitation And Hygiene (MWASH) Program

The foundations of a healthy society rest in the provision of basic hygienic needs of the population. Improvements in water, sanitation and hygiene facilities are a society’s first steps towards advancement of health, reduction in malnutrition and mortalities, maternal safety, economic growth, social acceptance and communal dignity. Availability of WASH facilities is guaranteed to be followed by social and economic prosperity arising out of safe living conditions and a healthy satisfied population. The Foundation is engrossed into fulfilling the population’s WASH needs in concentrated disadvantaged areas for the welfare of the general public but specifically for vulnerable young women and girls, who are great disadvantaged from deprivation of adequate WASH facilities. The program finds its ideology in the basic human right of access to clean and safe drinking water and access to hygiene and appropriate sanitation.Owing to the Foundation’s belief that safe drinking water, sanitation and appropriate hygiene continues to be an indisputably fundamental human right for all means and purposes, provision of such facilities remains a legitimate duty of the respective governments as well as responsible organizations and abled citizens. 

Absence of these basic facilities within peoples’ reach forces them to make arrangements for it, for example collecting ample water to fulfill the needs of the entire family, at the expense of a large chunk of time from their everyday lives.Even after struggling efforts to collect water at the cost of abundant precious time, the water obtained might not be fit for human consumption, still maintaining the risk of acquiring diseases from consuming such water. Ample of precious time squandered by people for these activities severely lowers their chances of properly acquiring education or skills, reducing their potential and negating any possibility of their contribution towards household income and subsequently to the national economy. Peculiar wrongs are suffered by the female population, who, as per the African traditions, are mostly kept responsible to face difficulties and obtain water or such resources from far-flung areas.The WJ Mudolo Foundation, by way of its operations under this program, aims to relieve such hardships culturally imposed upon individuals of households, and make the availability of WASH facilities mainstream within the African continent to promote a healthy, skilled population that results in content households and a prosperous economy.

The WJ Mudolo Foundation is determined that the prevailing water, sanitation and hygiene conditions Africa direly need, are upgraded and improved. The Foundation under its MWASH program, upon careful assessment and scrutiny, endows grants to organizations and local governments, who upon production of documents evidencing previous well-planned projects of the same sort along with proper plans and feasibility studies to implement measures ensuring the effective availability of WASH facilities in the future are successful in exhibiting ready willingness, potential, and calculated strategies to render such projects beneficial and delivering in the longer run for the public.

Proposals received and approved by the Foundation must get down to the following key points in order to seek eligibility to be granted funds, subject to further scrutiny:

  • Outline and counter the sustainability and long-term impacts of providing WASH facilities, and the anticipated costs, along with instances of community involvement in projects;
  • Demonstrate that the applicant, in association with the local government or under its supervision, is actively involved in solving WASH-related problems in the affected areas;
  • Describe their understanding of how the program will improve organizations or influence government decisions or regulations to focus on filling the WASH intervention gap;
  • Mention activities pertaining to the program that may tend to upgrade infrastructure to provide or improve the accessible supply of water to the people.

The MWASH is committed to achieving its desired goals by taking the following steps:

  • Drilling wells and bores to supply hygienic water
  • Construction of community-specific dams
  • Improving the channel systems and water supply networks
  • Rainwater harvesting
  • Construction and arrangements to maintain toilets
  • Provision of health and hygiene awareness to the public
