MEDICAL SUPPORT PROJECTS
SUPPORT PROJECT FOR HOSPITALS AND MEDICAL CLINICS IN SENEGAL AND IVORY COAST
OUR SUPPORT IN THIS SECTOR INCLUDES SENDING, TO THE AFRICAN CONTEXTS IN WHICH WE OPERATE, CONTAINERS FROM ITALY WITH HOSPITAL EQUIPMENT, MEDICAL SUPPLIES AND MEDICINES, RECEIVED AS DONATIONS FROM LOCAL HEALTH AUTHORITIES, MEDICAL PRACTICES AND ITALIAN ASSOCIATIONS,
THE FIRST SHIPMENTS STARTED IN 2012 AND CONTINUE TO THIS DAY, SUPPORTED BY OUR RECURRING MISSIONS, WE ALSO ORGANIZE MEDICAL AND HEALTHCARE TRAINING COURSES AT CLINICS, HOSPITALS AND HEALTH CENTERS, WITH THE AIM OF ENABLING POPULATIONS TO EMPOWER THEMSELVES AND CREATE ADEQUATE CONDITIONS FOR SUBSISTENCE IN THEIR COUNTRIES.
AURORA ODV & ASP ITALY APS

THE PROJECT MISSIONS ARE VISIBLE, IN SEQUENCE, IN THE "PROJECT PHOTOS" SECTION OF THE WEBSITE
RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
IN THE RURAL VILLAGES OF SENEGAL AND IVORY COAST, WE PROVIDE TOOLS TO WOMEN'S COOPERATIVES TO DEVELOP INCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIES. SOMETIMES, WE BUILD WELLS OR SMALL LIVESTOCK STRUCTURES, DONATE SEEDS, AND INSTALL SMALL PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS MAINLY USED FOR IRRIGATION.
THE PALM OIL PRODUCTION PROJECT IS ONE OF OUR MOST SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS, BOTH IN SENEGAL AND IN IVORY COAST
IT CONSISTS OF TRAINING WOMEN'S COOPERATIVES IN THE USE OF MACHINERY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PALM OIL, IN VILLAGES WITH NATIVE OIL PALM PLANTS
PREMISE
WE PROPOSE OUR PROJECT EXCLUSIVELY IN VILLAGES WHERE THERE IS NO DEFORESTATION OR INTENSIVE OIL PALM CULTIVATION, THE WOMEN'S COOPERATIVES IN THE VILLAGES WE TARGET ARE LOCATED IN CONTEXTS WHERE THE PLANTATIONS ARE EXCLUSIVELY NATIVE AND IN ANY CASE, THE OIL PRODUCTION IS MAINLY INTENDED FOR FAMILY CONSUMPTION
ALSO IN SENEGAL (IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE COUNTRY CALLED CASAMANCE) AND IN IVORY COAST, OIL PALMS ARE NATIVE NATURAL RESOURCES ABUNDANTLY PRESENT IN THE TERRITORY. HAVING ASSESSED THE ABOVE CONTEXTS, WE HAVE PROMOTED A SYSTEM DESIGNED BY THE PS 76 ASSOCIATION OF GENOA WHICH ENVISAGES THE USE OF PALM FRUITS TO OBTAIN OIL OF EXCELLENT QUALITY.
THE PLANT PROPOSED BY OUR PROJECT PRODUCES OIL IN MORE HYGIENIC CONDITIONS COMPARED TO THAT OBTAINED WITH CURRENT PROCESSING METHODS (TRADITIONAL METHODS) AND OPERATES WITH A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER WATER CONSUMPTION.
THE PLANT PROPOSED BY THE PROJECT ALLOWS FOR GREATER OIL PRODUCTION IN RELATION TO THE SAME QUANTITIES OF FRUIT USED WITH TRADITIONAL METHODS AND IN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED TIMES.
