Psychiatric Hospital Project

This project is underway.  The concrete work is being repaired at the Women's residence.  It was collapsing due to improper water drainage.  Some of the old concrete was taken out and drainage pipes replaced and then new concrete is being poured and the drainage inside the courtyard is being redone so it runs off as it should.   They have patched many cracks in the walls and stairway.  It was looking really good but they aren't finished yet.

We are also doing a lot of work on their water.  They have two good boreholes already but one was being pumped into a storage tank and there was only one place to fetch the water.   Trenches are being dug to run lines to the main storage tanks (not being used right now) and we will install pumps from both boreholes to fill them and then water will be able to run to several different locations through out the hospital grounds.   New lines will be installed where needed.

We also have a technician, who was to start yesterday, repairing the laundry equipment so that it is like new.  Two hospital staff will be trained by him as well so that they can do regular maintenance on the equipment that should help prevent breakdowns for a while.  

The last part of this project is to give them medical supplies to help in their outpatient clinic and elsewhere, as needed.

We are trying to help the hospital find ways of sustaining themselves a little better after we finish.  They do not get much support from the Gov't. even though it is a Gov't hospital.  

We want to have Church members go in a do some painting and help where they can in this project.
