what ascend alliance did in ethiopia

Ran a medical clinic consisting of:
One American doctor, one Ethiopian doctor, two Ethiopian nurses

Did you know Ethiopia has only one doctor per 100,000 people?
I didn't either until Wikipedia told me.

Handed out clothing

Handed out shoes

Registered people to see the doctor

Crowd controlled

Taught very, very, very, VERY, basic hygiene and finance classes

Gave goats to orphans

Put up privacy walls in front of the latrines in the schoolyard

Dug more latrines at the community center

Painted the school

Painted an inspirational mural (my mother did this)
