CSPS Clinic in Balembar, Burkina Faso, West Africa



On December 5, 2009 I was invited to visit this small CSPS Clinic in Balembar, Burkina Faso, West Africa. We drove about five hours by road and then about an hour off-road to this remote village. When we arrived we found a small moto drawn "ambulance", a "waiting room" with an expectant mother, four new born babies and a grungy "delivery room". I met with the person that oversees the facility and he explained how they have a single kerosine lamp to light the room while the women gives birth at night. I'm currently raising $949.00 to purchase a small solar powered lighting system for the clinic. If you would like to donate to this project, visit my website at: http://hesentme.org
