Basic Health Education and Training to be done in Liberia through CLCY.
The organization will provide Basic Health care training refresher for Nurses and Rural Health workers in remote villages of Liberia. Change for Liberian Children and Youth has a training center in Careysburg, Montserrado County Liberia, where Nurses and Village Health workers from over thirty (30) remote villages will receive training. When they return to their villages, they will share what they have learned with their healthcare centers and communities. Most of the Nurses and Village Health workers that we will be working with do not have a quality healthcare training education and no health care training refresher opportunity neither do they know how to read or write. For this reason, it is necessary to train Liberian on better and practical hands on training programs provided by trained volunteered Physicians and Nurses from the United States and Liberia. Liberians are dying from commonly preventable diseases and conditions; the organization is also providing training for students at three (3) public schools in Careysburg District Montserrado County, Liberia to identify and prevent basic health risk to include; how to identify dehydration, use hand washing technique, washing fruits and vegetable before consumption, proper cooking of meat and other dietary products, etc. We will also work in the remote locations by committing to focus on underprivileged children and youth health development by accessing the poorest neighborhood in rural areas to provide training. The organization will train and educate the community on the benefit of vital nutrients (local food) consumption. CLCY will encourage local residence to engage in gardening and consumption of food they grow instead of relying on imported non-preservatives processed food ultimately improving the health condition and cut cost on food. sanitation are also factors affecting all ages in Liberia, will increase good health and reduce the high prevalence of diarrhea, cholera, typhoid, etc. The organization will also emphasize healthcare workers and community youths in basic lifesaving(BLS), cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and other healthcare delivery skills including but not limited to clinical laboratory science(CLS). The organization is operating through Careysburg Public Clinic where we have provided services and training to over 100 participants in healthcare workshop on basic lifesaving tips.
