Over the past six months, we have kept you constantly updated on developments in the ‘Interior and exterior renovation of the Gbodjè health centre’ project, which has now come to an end.

We are in the economic capital of Benin, Cotonou, a city that – despite representing the heart of the country’s business – sadly continues to be characterised by severe poverty, as does the entire nation. It is therefore essential to support all those activities that aim to improve services for the well-being of citizens, especially those in the most fragile socio-economic conditions.

The Camillian Province of Benin Togo has made this a mission since its foundation, taking concrete action to stand by those who need it most. It was precisely from them that we received this request for funding for the renovation of the Gbodjè Health Centre: a health centre – founded by the Camillians themselves – that takes care of and supports precisely the most destitute.

We at Salute e Sviluppo welcomed the project with enthusiasm and are very happy to be able to announce its many achievements: no less than two observation rooms, a sampling room, a new shower room and a small emergency room have been built. In addition, the drug distribution room, the laboratory and a waiting area for patients were renovated.

In just a few months, we have been able to contribute to a substantial renovation of the facility, which is now ready to welcome all those who need it, and provide medical examinations and appropriate treatment.
