"He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well.

Is that not what it means to know me?" declares the LORD.

Jeremiah 22:16

Welcome to International Help of Missionaries. In 2008, IHM was established on the principals and direction of missionaries who serve in developing countries. Missionaries who have given their lives to serve and help the poor, uneducated and those who lack hope for a better life.

Our goal is to supply these dedicated men and women the necessary resources to achieve their goals above and beyond their expectations and enable those less fortunate in the world to begin a new frontier of hope. Our current programs create opportunities, through education, for children and young adults to become productive, innovative and self-sustaining faith driven adults in their communities and villages. They can become beacons of light and hope for the world around them, now and into the future. International Help of Missionaries is nonsectarian and helps all people in great need throughout the world.  100% of your donations go directly to help the program of your choice! We do not use any portion of your donation for overhead, salaries or expenses. We are a completely volunteer organization.

We are in Desperate Need of Help With Clinic in Likpe Bakwa

Thanks to the support of our partners on this project, the Carter Center and Sahara Oil, the repairs are completed and new bathrooms have been installed.The clinic, which was built and commissioned in the 1960s, had not seen any major rehabilitation work or replacement of obsolete or broken equipment for over ten years. The people of Likpe Bakwa and the entire Likpe traditional area would be highly appreciative and thankful if the following needs could be provided to the Center to facilitate and enhance its operation:

  1. Ambulance
  2. Stand-by generator
  3. Rehabilitation of the water system in the hospital including the borehole mechanization to a reservoir to supply water to the hospital. As of now, all the washrooms/bathrooms are not operational because there is no water as such at the Health Center. The mechanized borehole of the Center has not being in good condition for so many years now. This makes the work very difficult for the Health superintendent in-charge and the nurses at the Center. Due to this water problem and the lack of equipments many nurses/workers sent to the Center are reluctant to go and work in the Center.  COMPLETED
  4. Beds are in severely needed. There is a 50-bed capacity for the Center but presently there are only 5 old beds.
  5. Incinerator to help manage waste at the Center. With no incinerator the waste from the center is dumped at a particular site and is polluting the stream which is a major source of water for the inhabitants of Likpe Bakwa, especially during the raining season.
  6. Wheelchairs
  7. Mower(s) and grass cutters to weed and trim flowers at the Center
  8. Basic equipment for the lab and for taking blood pressure
  9. Operational Theater

As of now we have the following staff at the Center:One Chief Superintendent; one general nurse; two midwives of which one is on contract and could leave the Center at any time; four community health nurses; four other assistants; and two laborers.The beneficiaries are people of the Likpe traditional area, the Ewli traditional area, and also people from the neighboring country of Togo, especially the refugees. As of now the average daily attendance is between 100 and 120 patients; low when compared to the recent past. This low attendance is due to the poor condition of the hospital. Anyone who is sick and needs a referral has to find his/her own means of transport and this complicates the problem of the patient's and their family. In fact, during the farming season there is even more pressure on the staff of the Center. Unfortunately the Center, which was established at the heart of a farming community, lacks even anti-snake venom injections. When someone is bitten by a snake, the person may die if he/she does not quickly get a passenger vehicle to be conveyed to the nearest district hospital for treatment. Please contact me if you would like to help with this project. We desperately need assistance to fund this clinic, acquire additional beds and equipment listed above asap!

Our projects  are helping people in, Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda and the United States. 

Silenadre is located in the Ziope area, and has a population of approximately 300. The town folks were trekking about a kilometer and a half to fetch water from the dam which has completely dried up. Now they are traveling 6km to access water and travel by motorcycle.

Akukorkpo and Kopedeka are in the Mafi area. Water is collected from unsafe sources. Water dugouts which are small and discolored Children are the most affected, sadly mothers do not have a choice but use it as drinking water for the children which is unboiled. These towns have a population of 200 and 150 respectively.

 

International Help Of Missionaries has now helped over 200,000 people with clean water since 2011 when we started our water programs!
