In Pestel we are trying to move in this direction, and we're making good strides. I would urge you to watch this video that was just released.
When they get to the simple interventions you will recognize several interventions that we are implementing and hoping to implement within the next year, particularly malaria bednets and immunizations. Through our health worker infrastructure (APPAS) and the medical registration system implemented last year, we have the ability to eliminate deaths due to immunizable diseases like tetanus.
The well-drilling project being overseen by Water Missions International is an amazingly important effort to reduce major causes of child death in this setting. This is going to be HUGE!!! I have been immensely impressed with everyone I have had the pleasure of speaking at Water Missions International. They are a very competent, caring, gracious group of individuals who are motivated by their Christian beliefs to bring both water to live and the Living Water. It's pretty exciting.
Please check out the video!
