Goal

This project will fund a mobile clinic in KZN serving 1000 children for 1 year. 

Funds raised for this project will be used to fund operational costs for a mobile wellness clinic, The Wellness Wagon, staffed by a professional nurse. The Wellness Wagon will be used to serve one of Starfish's community-based operations focusing on the provision of children's healthcare in KZN. The provision of accessible healthcare for children by The Wellness Wagon will help prevent child mortalities resulting from preventable childhood diseases. Alarmingly, seven out of ten children die from preventable childhood diseases, with the most common causes of death for children under five years being diseases related to AIDS, tuberculosis and diahorrea.

 

In order to strengthen our health care services, Starfish has purchased a mobile clinic, the Wellness Wagon. The Wellness Wagon is based on the School Integrated Health programme, and is aimed at ensuring the physical, mental and social well-being of children to maximise their learning capabilities.

The services include:
