Project Description
Royal Zambezi Lodge and the KAI Foundation have partnered to sponsor, fundraise and initiate a plan to build doctors accommodation for the maternity ward. In the past, they have partnered together to build maternity wards. Once fulfilled, this project will assist the Ministry of Health in placing a clinical office/senior medic at the facility that services around 4000 people from the surrounding villages. The lodge regularly supplies the clinic itself and the maternity ward with medications it needs.
