More than 1,000 children made homeless in Yogyakarta, Central Java, Indonesia and living on the street are at high risk of disease due to the absence of medical and dental care. The Rotary Club of Jogja Merapi in Yogyakarta, in partnership with the KKY Clinic, propose to introduce a mobile health clinic to provide a basic screening and treatment service. The project will cover the operational costs of running the mobile clinic that will visit six locations in the Greater Yogyakarta area each week.
The total cost is approximately £11,250. Part of the funding will come from the Indonesian Club and the rest from Rotary Clubs in Wiltshire, Dorset and Somerset. The Rotary Club of Wessex Mead is co-ordinating this project and would welcome donations to be made out to ‘Rotary Club of Wessex Mead – Indonesian Project’ to be sent to Julia Davey, C/O Wiltshire Council, County Hall, Trowbridge, Wiltshire.
The idea of supporting this project came from Daniel Lyus, formerly the Mental Health Commissioning Officer for Wiltshire County Council, who had been a nominated by The Rotary Club of Wessex Mead to be a member of the Rotary Group Study Exchange team that visited Surabaya and Yogyakarta in the Spring of 2008.
