Additional Information

Help raise $15,000 to send a shipment of medical equipment and supplies to a new clinic in northeastern Ghana where medical needs are great.
The Clinic has been funded through Compassion for Africa, a 501(c)(3) organization founded by Dr. Joe Gorman, Associate Professor of Pastoral Theology at Northwest Nazarene University (NNU). The clinic was the inspiration of his daughter, Annie, a sophomore at NNU.

The building is complete with electricity and running water. Funds have been raised to start a pharmacy (shelves, locks, medication, and staff). Now Compassion for Africa is partnering with Hands of Hope to raise $15,000 to send an overseas shipping container full of medical equipment and supplies.

The shipment will Equip the Clinic with the following items:

Autoclave, Wheelchairs, Beds, Linens, Carts, Stethoscopes, Blood pressure cuffs, Medical instruments, Sinks and basins, Exam tables, Sutures, Scalpel blades, Generator, Safe to store medicines
