In Ethiopia as in much of the developing world, women are among the most afflicted by poverty, and bear the brunt of the struggle to support a family. Given the opportunity to work for a living, women are granted the means to be able feed and care for their whole families, and send their children to school. Through women, the quality of life for entire communities can improve. In the April 2010 issue, read about how health professionals at our clinic travel to nearby communities who have no easy access to our clinic or other healthcare facilities. The nurses teach members of the community about health issues and hygiene, assess the needs of the community, and promote the new clinic. Also read about the school's "Shibu Cup" Soccer tournament and Ethiopian Easter. |
