  • 31 January 2019, Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region, Ethiopia: In south central Ethiopia, the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus (EECMY) and the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) are helping young migrant returnees rebuild their lives through a project called Symbols of Hope. In a context where poverty can lead to desperation and the prospect of a different life can seem distant, Ethiopia has seen many young people chose to migrate, under the promise of an income big enough to share back home, and of a better, safer life. Some go to find employment in South Africa, others go to work in households in the Middle East. Yet the promises rarely turn out as proclaimed, and many have returned home traumatized, some even destitute, as they had given up whatever land they once owned to afford a plane ticket. At the heart of the Symbols of Hope project is the goal to build awareness about the risks involved in illegal migration, and to empower young people to find alternative ways of making a living through training in business development.

  • 31 January 2019, Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region, Ethiopia: “People are not aware of the risks of this journey, and what they will find when they arrive where they are going,” says Samira Alemu, who left home in Ethiopia to work in Dubai in 2016. Three years later, she tells a story of unfulfilled promises, and a difficult journey back to where she is today. “There is risk of violence, of rape and abuse, you are more exposed to the risk of disease. I lost all my belongings on the way, except one shoe,” she recalls. “You think you will find a better life, but it is not what you first think.” In south central Ethiopia, the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus (EECMY) and the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) are helping young migrant returnees rebuild their lives through a project called Symbols of Hope.

  • 2 March 2017, Morija, Maseru district, Lesotho: This child, sleeping next to the hospital's incubation machines, is called a "lost and found" by the nurses. The child was found 7 days ago, crying alone in a field near the hospital. The hospital has taken the child in for care, the police are trying the locate the child's family, and a social worker has been assigned to the case. The child is a suspected orphan. ”It’s rare to find orphans like this, but it’s not the first time” say the nurses at Scott's. Scott Hospital is run by the Lesotho Evangelical Church in Southern Africa and is a founding member of the Christian Health Association of Lesotho. It is located in the village of Morija, and operates and supervises clinics in the Maseru District of Lesotho. Scott started out as a dispensary in 1864, and today offers comprehensive healthcare Mondays-Fridays, as well as pharmaceutical services around the clock. Lesotho suffers from high numbers in Tuberculosis in disesase and mortality, and so the hospital screens all patients for TB. The hospital observes among many patients what they describe as ”low health-seeking behaviour”, services are increasing and demand rising, but space and human resources are a challenge, as is funding. I key concern is one of infrastructure, where the original design of the hospital matches poorly with current needs, as departments and buildings are scattered, posing a challenge for security. Another challenge is to adapt donation structures, so as to be able to receive payments electronically. The hospital has one ambulance, which they describe as not enough, but what they have. Another challenge is that lack of funds affects maintenance of buildings and infrastructure, as the immediate care of patients take priority.

  • 2 March 2017, Morija, Maseru district, Lesotho: Adam Creighton, development director of InStove donates a 20-litre stove autoclave system to Scott Hospital clinical manager Ella Ramatla. The stove is to be used at the Materiel Health Centre in the district of Mafeteng, Lesotho, at a satellite learning centre run by Scott Hospital. The stove autoclave system can be used either to sterilize medical equipment, including waste, or as a cookstove. It runs on small amounts of renewable biomass. The rationale is that small pieces of biomass can be used as fuel more sustainably than when stoves require large-piece firewood. Scott Hospital is run by the Lesotho Evangelical Church in Southern Africa and is a founding member of the Christian Health Association of Lesotho. It is located in the village of Morija, and operates and supervises clinics in the Maseru District of Lesotho. Scott started out as a dispensary in 1864, and today offers comprehensive healthcare Mondays-Fridays, as well as pharmaceutical services around the clock. Lesotho suffers from high numbers in Tuberculosis in disesase and mortality, and so the hospital screens all patients for TB.

  • 2 March 2017, Morija, Maseru district, Lesotho: Matabo Mosoeu is a cleaner at Scott Hospital. Scott Hospital is run by the Lesotho Evangelical Church in Southern Africa and is a founding member of the Christian Health Association of Lesotho. It is located in the village of Morija, and operates and supervises clinics in the Maseru District of Lesotho. Scott started out as a dispensary in 1864, and today offers comprehensive healthcare Mondays-Fridays, as well as pharmaceutical services around the clock. Lesotho suffers from high numbers in Tuberculosis in disesase and mortality, and so the hospital screens all patients for TB. The hospital observes among many patients what they describe as ”low health-seeking behaviour”, services are increasing and demand rising, but space and human resources are a challenge, as is funding. I key concern is one of infrastructure, where the original design of the hospital matches poorly with current needs, as departments and buildings are scattered, posing a challenge for security. Another challenge is to adapt donation structures, so as to be able to receive payments electronically. The hospital has one ambulance, which they describe as not enough, but what they have. Another challenge is that lack of funds affects maintenance of buildings and infrastructure, as the immediate care of patients take priority.
