Ambassadors for Sustained Health (ASH):
Ambassadors for Sustained Health: aims to provide quality healthcare, prevent the perpetuation of disease, and empower community members living in extreme poverty. Our current location is in Western Kenya, where we have established a Community Center, complete with medical dispensary, vocational training center, and youth clubs. In government, private, non-profit, and local partnerships, we plan to expand with time to reduce all the barriers to prolonged health.
AfHBoston will partner with a resident in Nyayo Village to improve one of the sleeping mud houses on his property. Some of the issues that will need to be addressed are ventilation, light and water seeping underneath the house. Because this is a mud house for sleeping, there is no kitchen. However, the project should take the kitchen into consideration because many of the families in Nyayo only have one house where they sleep and cook. Eventually, the proposed solution will be adapted for implementation in the rest of the village and to other villages. The proposed solution will take into consideration the income of the residents, climate, local resources and the lifestyle of the people.
