Please help Bumi Sehat, from Nicole H.

PLEASE SUPPORT BUMI SEHAT



Please help the Bumi Sehat clinic:
-improve the health of new borns and mothers
-to obtain necessary medical supplies
-to foster HIV/AIDS outreach and education

As many of you know I had the privilege of volunteering at the Bumi Sehat clinic in Bali and Sumatra in 2005. The mission of this clinic is to provide health care to low-income women and children within Indonesia. I have been fortunate enough to gather an array of medical supplies for this clinic over the course of the last year. However, additional supplies are in constant demand.
Now I am embarking on the task of getting these desperately needed supplies to Indonesia. I have set a goal of raising $6,000 – this money will go towards purchasing medical supplies I was unable to get donated, getting the medical supplies to Indonesia in January 2008, as well as assisting with the clinic’s own transportation needs.

Bumi Sehat is a non-profit organization of committed families, teachers, midwives, doctors, nurses and caring citizens from many countries. The clinic advocates for the reproductive rights of displaced, marginalized, and low-income women and their children of all cultures and ethnic backgrounds. They work hand-in-hand with the communities they serve in order to establish sustainable health care, educational projects, and HIV/AIDS prevention programs.


In Bali they are achieving a higher standard of maternal and child health through culturally sensitive prenatal care, birth and postpartum services, and support of breast-feeding. By promoting natural Family Planning they empower families who may have no access to pharmaceutical methods of birth control.


It is essential to gain support for this clinic so that they can continue the important work they have set out for themselves. They are still working fervently with the Indonesian tsunami victims in Aceh, Sumatra as well as continuing their vital services for various communities within Bali.
