RENOVATION OF GBODJE HEALTH CENTRE COMPLETED
Over the past six months, we have kept you constantly updated on developments in the ‘Interior and exterior renovation of the Gbodjè health centre’ project, which has now come to an end.
We are in the economic capital of Benin, Cotonou, a city that – despite representing the heart of the country’s business – sadly continues to be characterised by severe poverty, as does the entire nation. It is therefore essential to support all those activities that aim to improve services for the well-being of citizens, especially those in the most fragile socio-economic conditions.
The Camillian Province of Benin Togo has made this a mission since its foundation, taking concrete action to stand by those who need it most. It was precisely from them that we received this request for funding for the renovation of the Gbodjè Health Centre: a health centre – founded by the Camillians themselves – that takes care of and supports precisely the most destitute.
We at Salute e Sviluppo welcomed the project with enthusiasm and are very happy to be able to announce its many achievements: no less than two observation rooms, a sampling room, a new shower room and a small emergency room have been built. In addition, the drug distribution room, the laboratory and a waiting area for patients were renovated.
In just a few months, we have been able to contribute to a substantial renovation of the facility, which is now ready to welcome all those who need it, and provide medical examinations and appropriate treatment.
THE GBODJÈ CENTRE OF COTONOU
We at Salute e Sviluppo have been working for more than 25 years in developing countries, in an effort to help those in greatest need and to improve the living conditions of those who suffer or are deprived of basic rights. Thanks to the Camillians, who are our partners in every activity, we are able to have a unique capillarity in the world and to intervene promptly where it is most needed.
This was also the case with our latest project ‘Interior and exterior renovation of the Gbodjè health centre’ in Cotonou, Benin. Benin is a country in West Africa, where living conditions are not easy and where international cooperation and solidarity activities play an important role in enabling the local population to live in dignity.
We have received a request from the Camillian Province of Benin Togo for financial support to undertake construction and electrical/hydro-sanitary work to complete the Gbodjè Health Centre. A Camillian centre that cares for the most destitute and sick, representing a salvation for the local population.
The project has a duration of six months, during which time a variety of activities are planned: the entire masonry of the structure is to be redone, with external and internal painting, the lighting system and the plumbing and sanitary system, and then the tiles and guttering are to be installed.
We at Salute e Sviluppo are happy to be able to contribute to all these building works and improvements to the centre. When the project is completed, we will inform you about this new milestone.
