Moringa Project is an Australia-based nonprofit charitable organization committed to the development of sustainable healthcare facilities for underprivileged communities. Moringa Project's current campaign is the development of a sustainable clinic in Jharkhand, India.〔(One Health Organisation Collaborative Project )〕 ==History== Established in 2008, Moringa Project (formerly Traditional Healthcare) began after two Australian acupuncturists travelled to the remote village of Pundag, India to volunteer their time. The Pundag clinic was treating up to 70 patients a day and the volunteers were confronted with a wide range of ailments from simple aches and pains to very complicated disorders and pathologies. The lack of facilities in the area saw patients travelling for up to three days to seek treatment. The manager of the acupuncture clinic then took the volunteers to the even more remote village of Datom, to treat people who previously had never received any kind of medical treatment due to their isolation and poverty. Datom is a remote village located in the state of Jharkhand. With no medical facilities within a 100 km radius, the people of the area are in desperate need of healthcare. On arriving, the volunteers were shown to a dilapidated hut that was to be their clinic. Immediately the volunteers were overwhelmed with patients. There was an evident need for a healthcare clinic. After seeing the success of the acupuncture clinic in Pundag, and the need for another clinic in Datom, Traditional Healthcare was established shortly after arriving back in Australia. The aim was to start construction of the Datom clinic in January 2010 and to raise $50,000AU to build and fit out the facility. Changing its name in 2013, Traditional Healthcare, now Moringa Project, is run by Melbourne volunteers, who are not affiliated with any religious bodies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Traditional Healthcare」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
