Transporting sick women and children to clinics
Jul 29, 2007

In some parts of remote and rural parts of Zambia, transportation is nothing but a nightmare. Despite several passible roads, feeder roads are only used by animals as the mode of transportation that pull the wagon full of sick and desperate people to be taken to the nearest clinics. Rising Fountain Development Program, a locally based group in Zambia www.risingfountains.org is currently on a fundraising compaign to end this situation. We hope to purchase an "ambulance" (vehicle) that will serve the communities to take the sick and the old to nearby clinics and stop annimal cruelty. Would you liek to join our team ?
