Slum Project in Okpoko/Anambra State
This project in the slum area of Okpoko is led by Dr. Joyce Ezeugo. Its aim is to alleviate the health problems of the population by training multipliers in the areas of hygiene, nutrition, women’s health, and natural birth control. Together with Aktion Regen, tools have been developed for use in the slums. Regular free medical care is offered in various villages in the slum area to help families who cannot afford medical care. The most common health problems are infectious diseases, parasites, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
