Brooklyn, New York, Liberia - September 18, 2015 /PressCable/ —
Imani House Inc announced today that $18 will provide medicine for 650 Patients in South Africa.
The owner, Mrs. Bisi Ideraabdullah, says that what seems miniscule amount of money in USA, can make a huge difference in Liberia, country that ranks among the top twenty nations with the highest rates of child and maternal mortality in the world. For example, $10 will buy care for 5 mothers, $18 will provide medicine for 650 patients and $75 will provide transportation for malarial medications and other medications for 3 months. $250 will provide medicines for two Weeks for 650 Patients.
UNICEF’s State of the World’s Children (2014) stated that the child mortality rate (under 5 years) in Liberia was 55 deaths per 1,000 live births. The Imani House creation – Jahtondo Town Maternal and Child Health Clinic provides integrated health services for women and children, as well as immunization programs. By partnering with the Ministry of Health and other governmental agencies and NGOs they have strengthened the capacity to administer health care services.
The story of Imani House charity started in 1982. While traveling on vacation with her family in Charleston South Carolina, Mrs. Bisi was a young mother pregnant with her fifth child. She went into labor and went to a local hospital. Even though her water had broken and she was in the late stages of labor, she was turned away, refused all medical care because she did not have insurance. They desperately drove to another hospital, time ticking away. She lost the baby. It made a strong influence on Mrs. Bisi Ideraabdullah. Bisi vowed that this should never happen to another mother and child.She returned to live in Liberia and started the organization dedicated to help the mothers, kids and youth people to get educational and medical services during tough economic times in Liberia. The other part of the charity today works with immigrant families in Brooklyn, New York, helping them develop their skills, integrate into society and thrive economically. Every year the mission helps over 20000 people in both countries.
