English: About Saúde da Floresta
Saúde da Floresta (translation: Health from the Forest) supports projects in the Brazilian Amazon. In cooperation with local institutions Saúde da Floresta helps set up and implement small scale and structural projects of a medical agricultural and educative nature. These projects help to improve the living standards of the population.
How do we help?
Saúde da Floresta helps by sending medical material, emergency food aid, clothes, agricultural tools, blankets, office material, educative material, computers etc. Saúde da Floresta also negotiates with persons wishing to work on location for longer or shorter terms.
The local situation
Saúde da Floresta cooperates closely with local organisations ‘Medicina de Floresta’, ‘Santa Casa’ and ‘Novo Destino’.These organisations are located in the districts Acre and Ipixuna in the Brazillian Amazon. In these districts there are various health hazards such as leprosy, malaria, typhoid, blood diseases, cancer and chronic influenza etc.
For example: the district Ipuxuna has a population of approximatley 12.000 who have no recourse to a hospital. Luckily a new hospital is under construction. This hospital is in urgent need of medicines, medical apparatus, wheelchairs, vitamins for children and pregnant women.
Necessities
Aside from emergency aid, there is a growing need for agricultural equipment, tools, pumps, solar collectors, and educative material such as musical instruments, pens, schoolbooks etc.Aside from such material, Saúde da Floresta is searching for grants and subsidies, donations and gifts.
