Health Development

Living in a rural area, like the Maasai do, often means no access to even basic medical services. People commonly tell stories of walking several days to reach the closest health clinic. Jesus’ own concern for physical healing inspires us.  AfricaHope partnered with a local Christian health clinic to facilitate periodic mobile clinics that reach deep into rural areas. The program has steadily increased in popularity.

Basic understandings of health and hygiene make a big difference in anyone’s life. Our educational work has included facilitating a number of seminars and community discussions on issues like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, nutrition,
hygiene and first-aid. One seminar will not change a long held belief and pattern of action, but a consistent program actually can.
