Renovation of the Health Care Centre and Sensitization to Fight STI'S/AIDS

SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT This project is part of ASTOVOT’s every summer approaches to ameliorate life conditions in rural areas. These approaches consist among other things in initiating micro-projects to arrange and renovate health infrastructures. The choice of the village of Klomanyondi is due to a diagnosis realised by the team of the ASTOVOT coordination. It’s an isolated village in the prefecture of Kloto. The public equipment and infrastructure is almost always damaged, among it is the health care centre. This workcamp will give the possibility to renovate the building of the centre. Beside the renovation activities, the volunteers will organise, in cooperation with the medical corps of this centre, public as well as “door to door” campaigns to fight STI’s/AIDS.
