EDUCATE

At the beginning of each month, we'll reveal a new educational theme corresponding to the budget areas of Nyamirama Health Center. Each theme will cover one area that is essential for the health center to serve the community of Nyamirama. We'll take you on a journey from community health through medicines and treatment to infrastructure and equipment, and more. By the time the school year is over and you've hit your fundraising goal, you and your chapter will know what it takes to make Nyamirama run. The monthly theme will include a presentation with speaker's notes and three resources to share with your chapter.
