In 2020, we awarded the first of two $10,000 Project Grants to LifeNet International to improve healthcare for 50,000 Burundians. This project seeks to create deep, permanent change in a health facility in Bugendana Clinic in Burundi. Over the course of one year, LifeNet provided high-impact, capacity-building monthly trainings in medical and management best practices. Health workers in the Bugendana Clinic acquired life-saving abilities to reduce infections, correctly diagnose and treat disease, perform interventions for maternal and neonatal complications, and more, thus improving the quality of care for patients in 8,822 healthcare visits. In 2021, the second Project Grant continues to fund LifeNet’s work with Bugendana Clinic, which will successfully complete and graduate from the full LifeNet medical and management training program in January 2022. The grant will also cover a portion of the costs for LifeNet’s partnership with Maternité Makamba Healthcare Facility in the Makamba Province, Burundi. With this support from the AllPeopleBeHappy foundation, Maternité Makamba will also graduate from the LifeNet training program in July 2022.
