:: Since the beginning,
270 children have had heart operations or surgery for Noma and other facial
malformations at Marseille and more recently at Nice, the children coming
mainly from Africa and Madagascar. They are sent to us by NGOs in those
countries.
:: We support 70 field dispensaries
and nutrition centres by regularly sending medical supplies, especially
to Madagascar. We are approved by Cyclamed.
:: We send medical teams to Madagascar
and to Burkina to perform operations on children with facial malformations
and at the same time to train local medical teams. Thus in 2001, we were
able to operate on 55 children in their own countries.
:: To fight against malnutrition, the
main cause of many illnesses, we distribute extracts of lucerne leaves to
children in different African countries and in Madagascar. This food complement
in powder form contains elements essential for healthy growth. |
