Help Us Complete and Equip the Hospital

The hospital is taking shape, but there is still important work ahead before it can fully serve the community. From essential infrastructure and utilities to furnishings and medical equipment, each remaining need brings us one step closer to opening the doors and providing quality, accessible care.


Your support can help us complete these critical next steps.


Infrastructure & Utilities


  • Solar Power Installation
  • Install a solar power system to provide reliable, sustainable electricity for the hospital.
  • Water Purification System
  • A water purification system may be needed depending on the results of current water quality testing.
  • Interior Plumbing
  • Complete interior plumbing installation, including necessary fixtures throughout the hospital.
  • Interior Electrical
  • Complete electrical installation and add the fixtures needed for safe, reliable hospital operations.
  • Exterior Sewage System
  • Install the exterior sewage system necessary to support the completed facility.


Site & Accessibility Improvements


  • Exterior Civil Work
  • Complete landscaping, paving, gardening, and other exterior improvements around the hospital.
  • Handrails
  • Install handrails along ramps and stairs to improve safety and accessibility.
  • Frontage Asphalt Paving
  • Pave the area in front of the hospital to reduce dust and dirt and help keep the facility clean.
  • Furnishings & Safety
  • Hospital Furniture
  • Provide the furniture needed for patient rooms, waiting areas, offices, and other hospital spaces.
  • Essential Hospital Fixtures
  • Install important safety and operational items, including sanitizer dispensers, fire extinguishers, room signage, and other necessary fixtures.


Medical Equipment


  • Diagnostic & Medical Equipment
  • Equipping the hospital will be one of the largest remaining investments. Needs will include X-ray, radiology, and other essential medical equipment. Equipment will be acquired and installed as the hospital moves closer to becoming fully operational.


Help Us Take the Next Step


Every completed item moves the hospital closer to serving patients and families who need access to care. Donations of any size can help fund the infrastructure, furnishings, safety improvements, and equipment needed to make this vision a functioning hospital.


Help us finish the hospital and prepare it to serve the community.
