The Church has three (03) medical centers, two of which are in rural areas (Zouvi and Sivamé) and one in an urban area (Wuti) in Lomé. These centers provide essential health services, including maternal and child care, vaccination services, and general care for the community. Working in collaboration with the Ministry of Health of Togo, they ensure crucial access to basic health care for local populations. The Church’s commitment in this area demonstrates its vital role in supporting public health.

Project Area: Montero and El Alto

Our two primary areas of service, Montero and El Alto, are very different in terms of size and lifestyle, but face very similar community health issues brought on by lack of resources.

Montero is located 31 miles north of Santa Cruz de la Sierra.This agriculture-based society faced a lack of resources, preventing them from receiving basic care. In 2014, Andean Rural Health Care provided medical consultations to over 22,000 children in the area of Montero, including growth assessments and vaccinations. The program also launched a deworming campaign in ten area schools, reaching 1,500 children.

El Alto is the second largest city in Bolivia, composed of poor migrant families from the countryside. The city is known for poor living conditions and political turbulence. In 2014, Andean Rural Health Care launched a program to educate citizens on human, sexual and reproductive rights. Through this program, 18 public health personnel met with nearly 4,600 women to discuss family planning strategies. These workers also met with nearly 800 families in their homes to share information on nutrition and provide vitamins and other health services.
