Health centre

This project has been financed by the foundation Share4more, Rabobank, Henk van Ballegooij, Wilma Leenheer and Eline Timmerman from Holland with an amount of 9.326,71 dollars.

The project is specifically meant for the construction of a small health centre. The health centre has a size of 10 by 8 meters’ and has a construction of cement and wood. The roof will be made of ecological tiles. A very expensive and sustainable construction. The construction started in September 2008 and will go on in the year 2009.

We are still looking for more financial support by finishing the construction and by buying medicine and health equipment. The health centre has 4 divisions: a room for medicine and a doctor, a room for ill persons, a room for dentistry and a waiting room. The project has been financed in the month August 2008.

A dentist and a doctor will be sending by the Ministry of Health from Ecuador. They will attend the people in Sarayaku for a period of 15 days every 2 months. A nurse will stay all the time in the health centre. She will also be send by the Ministry of Health.
