Sacred Heart Center

Visited Sacred Heart Center today on Street G between Rues 12 and 13!  They take care of an impressive number of kids with a small staff (2 sisters and a part time nurse)--I was really impressed with the education programs in particular.  But they definitely need some help from other organizations in the area.  Here's an overview of the visit:

Health and nutrition center staffed by nurse, although they need some things for measurement (in particular a scale) to better administer their RUTF program.  They do consultation,feeding, and medication.  They buy their own meds every month, and donations from members could free up needed funds for other uses.

Here's how they keep track of the kids:

 

Check-ups every six months...

 Cooking!

 The kids!  For their kids who go to school outside the center they have a taptap but it has a mechanical problem they don't currently have the resources to fix.
