One of the goals of LVM is to build a children’s hospital for Luila villages, since the nearest city and hospital are Kinshasa which is 50 miles away. Many of these children have physical infirmities, which go untreated. Not only war is making things very difficult, but also diseases such as malaria, cholera, blindness, smallpox are hitting a lot our young children. The premise is that their physical needs must be attended to before their mental and spiritual needs can be addressed.
LVM have purchased a land of 70 acres to build a complex including a children hospital. The Polyclinic-Hospital design is realized. The initial phase calls for the facility to have: an entrance area with a waiting room, an emergency room, 16 hospital rooms with 2 beds per room (32 patients in the first phase); a training room and a cafeteria; a multipurpose room.
Women, and in particular unwed mothers, will be trained in various skills such as nurses and midwives. A second phase will include an elementary school, a day care, and an orphanage
