Project "Sharity" - Sharing

Each sale helps build clinics to provide basic health care services in rural Tanzania

Through our products, Richland Hub strives to maximize its impact on underserved rural communities in Africa. This is done by focusing on health services while also giving back to our communities and the farming families who gave so much from their land.

Access to healthcare services is the basic need to any human and critical to good health, yet many rural areas in developing countries are facing a variety of access barriers that limit their ability to obtain the care they need. Women, facing issues of maternal and child health due to lack of access to medical facility. 

Our first project is out of rural part of Tanzania, an East African country off the coast of Indian ocean. Our goal is to contribute in improving an access to equitable, acceptable, and affordable quality health services for the community, especially women and children.

We can define access to the healthcare as - access to the health services to achive the best possible health outcome

Ideally, anyone should be able to conveniently access services such as primary care, emergency care, and public health services. To improve overall physical health, disease prevention and detection, diagnosis, treatment, avoiding preventable deaths, increase life expectancy. And to better the quality of life.

First Clinic

Challenge

This project will construct a health clinic in the village to serve a village of 2,235 people, of which one-third are children. There are currently no health facilities in this village, and the community must walk up to 11 kilometers (7 miles) for basic health services and 29 kilometer(18 miles) to reach disctrict hospital. Upon complition the government has agreed to provide a healthcare worker, basic medicines, and basic equipments. Having access to a clinic will significantly decrease deaths from malaria and other waterborne diseases and provide basic health education, especially women.
