The brutal reality in Africa is that many rural communities simply do not have easy access to hospitals or local healthcare facilities and there is no denying the detrimental impact this has on the wellbeing of these communities.
Wild Impact has been working with communities and municipalities for three decades to increase access to a range of medical services. This includes building clinics and accommodation for healthcare workers; facilitating community-based care initiatives; and developing boreholes and dams for safe drinking water. Access to safe sanitation facilities also remains a major problem in poor rural communities and Wild Impact provides ablutions or Enviro-loos – hygienic but waterless ablutions – to schools, clinics and other community facilities. Our vision 2030 target is to ensure 80% of our partner community residents have access to quality primary healthcare.
