Water Filter Project
The 2026 Water Filter Program is underway!
This year our team and members of the community started construction on our new sand water filter. Built with preexisting foundational buildings began rehabilitation of Gbamandu’s gravity fed water system. This project included replacing large sections of pipe that was over 50 years old, installing new taps and water storage tanks, and building a village size filter inside the old water holding tank. Once completed this will provide clean drinking water to the entire community.
Scholarship Program
The Inaugural 2025 IMA Scholarship Program for Sierra Leonean Medical Students was a Great Success!
In May 2025, fifteen university and students and university aspirants joined IMA for a Volunteer Week at our Gbamandu Clinic. The students were selected via a rigorous and objective application process. The volunteer week was the final phase of the application process, and provided opportunities for hands-on learning, performance evaluation, career and educational track advising, and networking. The students had opportunities to assist in labor and delivery, neonatal health assessments, antenatal care, pediatric medical treatment, malnutrition assessments and treatment, infectious and tropical disease diagnosis and treatment, emergency cases, and adult primary care appointments. In the end, seven currently enrolled university students were selected and received IMA scholarships, which will pay most of all of their tuition costs for 2025. Our selectees are all children of Soa Chiefdom, who are enrolled in physician, nursing, and public health programs in Freetown, Bo, Bonthe, Makeni, and Koidu. It was a wonderful week for everyone!
