Mission Statement:
Educate the masses and build strong awareness of the causes and prevention of infectious diseases, while improving strategies, to reach at-risk populations, which will accelerate the decline and eradication of such killer diseases. Engage in global disease (TB, AIDS, HEPATITIS) prevention and control through international partnerships and support.
The projects will educate masses residing in determined areas of focus and develop awareness of the causes and prevention of diseases (with emphasis on at-risk populations) to accelerate the decline of killer diseases such as: Tuberculosis, AIDS, Hepatitis, Diabetes and High Blood Pressure.
Olives Resources will promote health education initiatives amongst the grass root communities on causes and prevention of infectious/chronic diseases; will also provide resource materials to be translated into other ethnic languages such as Yoruba, Ibo and Hausa. The impact of these actions will increase awareness levels by 95% to achieve rapid decline in new cases of these targeted diseases, properly maintain ongoing cases, and reduce suffering and avoidable deaths.
We are committed to work in the all local Government areas and villages where access to health information is largely overlooked. Education on health awareness is essential to reduce the threats of mortality & morbidity of these diseases.
Olives Resources will provide educational materials in rural areas that have non-existent or ineffective health policies. Absence of effective policies results in thousands of children and adults dieing of preventable and curable diseases, pregnant women undergoing life-threatening conditions during deliveries. Cultural beliefs, ignorance and illiteracy have equally negatively impacted prevention of infectious/killer diseases.
Unarguably the present poor state of the nation's health system has translated into dilapidated infrastructure, poor conditions of service for health workers leading to low morale and a brain drain crisis from emigration to better conditions. It is a known fact that many households have to be responsible for addressing their health issues when they do not know the diagnosis of their ailments. Some families entrust treatment into the care of local herbalists thereby further compounding their problems.
