Health

​1. The “Mobile Health Bridge” (Reaching the Unreached)
​Instead of making the sick travel miles to a city hospital they can’t afford, BloomUnion brings the clinic to them.
​Zero-Cost Screenings: We conduct community “Health Days” where we screen for “silent killers” like hypertension, diabetes, and “nerves” (neuropathy).
​Early Intervention: By catching a condition early, we prevent the need for $1,000 surgeries or long-term hospitalizations that the vulnerable cannot pay for.
​2. Clean Water as “Primary Medicine”
​Many medical bills in vulnerable communities are for waterborne diseases (cholera, typhoid, chronic diarrhea).
​Solar Boreholes: In partnership with the PYE Foundation, we install solar-powered water systems.
​The Impact: Clean water acts as a “vaccine” against the most common reasons for hospital visits. When the water is pure, the medical bills disappear.
​3. The “Food Pharmacy” (Nutritional Resilience)
​We believe that “Medicine is for when you are sick, but Food is for when you want to stay well.”
​Moringa & Medicinal Gardens: We teach families how to grow “superfoods” that boost the immune system naturally.
​Nutritional Support for Kids: We provide nutrient-dense supplements and meals for children in our “Unity Scholars” program, ensuring their bodies are strong enough to fight off infections.
​4. Advocacy & The “Vulnerability Fund”
​For cases that do require advanced hospital care.
​Emergency Fund: We maintain a community-funded “Emergency Pool” to cover the costs for life-saving surgeries or medications (like insulin or antibiotics) for those who are truly destitute.
