Month: December 2024

The MHCD (Mission in Health Care and Development) is organizing a mission trip to Africa (Uganda, Burundi, Kenya, and DRC) in April 2025. We are delighted to inform you that we need nurses, doctors, dentists, carpenters, masons, plumbers, primary and secondary school teachers, pastors, cooks, mechanics, farmers, breeders, etc. All...

Every year, MHCD, in collaboration with Luvungi MHCD Hospital, organizes a medical and surgical campaign. The campaign lasts one to two months. The medical-surgical campaign gives all those who can't afford treatment, especially the poorest of the poor, the chance to receive free and semi-free treatment. Most of the Congolese...

Every year, MHCD and MHCDASA send containers to the DRC. These containers usually have medical equipment, chairs and tables for schools, clothes, shoes, sewing machines, days for girls, birthing kits, mattresses, beds, solar panels, solar batteries, computers, etc. These containers have made a significant contribution to the socio-economic development of...

In the DRC, we don't have good roads, so many women walk several kilometers to till their lands, fetch water from the rivers, or go to the market to sell their goods. The big problem is that they carry heavy loads on their backs and heads (e.g. 20 liters of...

MHCD has installed a 100kw solar farm in Luvungi that will supply power to the hospital, schools and other MHCD projects. We will also supply electricity to the community surrounding the MHCD compound as part of our Microfinancing Program. The money received for the power will help us to support the power project itself and also other MHCD projects in the Microfinancing Program. We have successfully installed all solar panels and batteries but we need cables to finally complete...

We have discovered that in many villages people, especially women, do not have light at night. This lack of lighting has brought, and continues to bring, a lot of problems and accidents in many houses especially in the more rural villages. In 2024, we hope to order 10,000 solar lights and lamps which we will distribute, free of charge, to the poorest people and for...

The support given to the agricultural community, through the Microfinancing Programme, is one of the main projects which has helped reduce poverty in many communities. In 2024, we would like to have an MHCD Agriculture Project that will help us to support the feeding programs at the MHCD schools in Luvungi and Sange. This project would also support MHCD, our Midwifery Students and the locally made Birthing Kits project.

Every year we have more than 1200 students studying at the MHCD Polytechnic School. Most of the classes have 80 to 100 students. With the construction of 6 new classrooms, we will be able to significantly reduce the number of students in each class. This programme will help us to modernise the school. The students will contribute to the development and...

MHCD has a 50-seater bus in Adelaide which needs to be shipped to Luvungi, DRC. The bus will be used for the journey between Uvira-Bukavu-Bujumbura. This bus service will help local passengers and will also help the women who have small businesses to travel to Bukavu and Bujumbura to purchase the goods they need to sell. We intend to charge a low bus fare. The women will therefore make a higher profit, and this will help them to support their...

We plan to build 4 classrooms, a technical room and an office. The construction of the extra buildings at the Midwifery School will allow the school to enrol more students. The funds from the students who are able to pay for tuition will support the school and also pay for tuition for students from poor families who...
