Campaign for Non-Violence and Fight against Malaria Seventeen Directors of the campaign have begun a census among Liberian Refugees, seeking both to find 10 teams of 10 Health Promoters and to document the extent of the malaria problem at the Budaburam Refugee Camp.
Preliminary results from over 500 people show 92% of people have had malaria, most of them in the past 3 months. Fewer than 45% of these people have been able to afford a visit to the clinic for proper diagnosis and treatment. The Buducom Humanist Center for Non-Violence and Fight against Malaria has visited UNICEF, the Malaria Consortium, the World Health Organization, and Ghana 's National Malaria Control Programme to ask for help finding low-cost insecticide-treated mosquito nets for the 50,000 residents of the camp.

Malaria kills more than 2 million people in the world each year and over 90% are in Africa south of Sahara . Half of those are Children. julius@islandia.is

1. At the Schiefflin clinic safe delivery, safe drinking water and river blindness instruction and care is conducted by health workers of the Clinic. The Clinic operates through the help of its volunteer members. There is no doctor at the Schiefflin clinic presently; the clinic treats the common cold, diarrhea, malaria, cholera, skin disease etc. The clinic has one Physician’s Assistant; one registrar, one cleaner and a vaccinator attending to the aid of the community dwellers. Drug shortage is the greatest problem now at the Shiefflin Clinic. Cholera is the #1 killer in Schiefflin; the people lack safe drinking water. There are no hand pumps built within the Sheifflin area..

2. Johnson Kamara and a team of volunteers are working together on an agricultural and health project. Cassava and pineapple is the project of this team. Members gathered together to work on their project. Each member within this group is asked to bring 20 cassava sticks each from their private farms to help facilitate the project.

Inez Hayes (the woman on the far right) started organizing volunteers in February of 2002, and is now working with over 250 self-organized volunteers, who although they lost contact during the last outbreak of hostilities have come back together and increased their strong efforts.
