As a social impact influencer, finding myself in a new rural community stirs up so many feelings within. There is the feeling of wanting to revamp the whole community because of their low state of living. From their water system to their economic status, to even their health centre. Everything is just below the standard of healthy living. It’s so sad but there are people living here.
After so much deliberation, the health centre has become my major focus for now due to the poor state it is. This is a place people have to go to receive treatment when ill yet it’s so sad that one might even get worse at such a place.
Still stay with me as I carry you along my plan on a project for the health centre in this rural community.
PLAN FOR A PROJECT IN THE RURAL HEALTH CENTRE.
🔅INVESTIGATION:
Venturing on this kind of project seem new especially if you are not in the health field hence you need to do your investigation about what really is the problem. Go to the health centre itself and observe things yourself or your team. Take pictures though don’t make it so obvious. Check as many places you have access to. You can even let them be aware of the purpose of your presence there.
🔅INTERVIEW: After so much investigation, you need to ask questions. Ask the nurses or doctor available questions about their challenges and struggles. Ask questions on where they need urgent help. Ask how they have been able to cope with responding to patients despite their present situation. Also ask the patients questions, they would have complains. They are the ones who feel the effect of the poor system. Ask as many questions as you can. Don’t leave any stone unturned.
🔅DECISION: After having asked your questions, have a discourse with your team and stakeholders. Deliberate on a particular area that needs to be attended to as soon as possible. Then make a decision.
🔅PROPOSAL: To carry out a project like this, you would need the intervention of other like minded people to partner with you so as to achieve your goal.
If you don’t know how to write a good proposal, learn it. Check YouTube and take courses so that you become confident when writing your proposal to anyone.
After sending the first proposal successfully, don’t just relax and forget about it. Send a reminder because you are not the only one sending proposals with the same topic.
🔅EXECUTION: As you are processing your proposal ensure the stakeholders of the community are also aware of your project to avoid issues coming up later.
When all these are in place, you can then carry out your project publicly.
🔅RECORDS: This point is so vital for progress tracking. Remember you are not just carrying out project for doing sake but for a major goal. Take pictures and videos. Take notes, vlog if you can. Store your records well for future purposes.
Every project needs a plan to actually be achieved. Just wishing and complaining about the problems won’t change anything.
What exactly is stopping you from that project you have in mind?
Let’s discuss in the comments.
