This clinic provides care to approximately 2,100 patients per year. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Giving Children Hope: Giving Children Hope serves vulnerable children and families across the street and around the world. One way we do that this is accomplished is by the gathering and redistribution of medical supplies and equipment to other non-profit partners, clinics, or hospitals locally and internationally. Thanks to a family of donors, Giving Children Hope is able to respond quickly and efficiently when a natural disaster strikes or help plan projects based on a great need in a developing country. In recent years, Giving Children Hope has sent containers to support those who survived Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, Hurricane Katrine in the United States, and Syrian refugees in Lebanon and Jordan. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Rwanda Children: In March 2017 CareNow Foundation's board of directors approved a new partnership with Rwanda Children located in Ntarama, South of Kigali, Rwanda. This village was started in 2013 and has expanded into the Hunter Hanner Community of Hope with additional facilities to serve the surrounding community. A recent addition is a new health center which provides healthcare professionals from Rwanda and other countries the opportunity to minister to the sick - especially to children who have nowhere else to turn. Rwanda Children exists to provide housing, food, family, and hope to at-risk Rwandan children in the name of Jesus. With over 3,450 children currently receiving access to medical care through our insurance sponsorship, we seek to ensure thousands more at-risk children across Rwanda possess the medical insurance they need to live healthy, happy lives. The development of our own local clinic is a natural next step to serve the children in our village as well as the surrounding community. Rwanda Children also focuses on family training with emphasis on personal hygiene, nutrition, and practical day-to-day needs with trust and reliance upon God's healing and love.
