Africa Connect has increasingly become involved in medical missions, initially emergency intervention through personal involvement with the students and their families. We now offer routine medical care and monthly clinics for our students. However, since 2009, AC donations have made it possible for Graceway to host up to three community clinics per year, saving lives and giving health and sanitation instruction. We are currently working toward establishing a Community Center, including a permanent clinic.
