Have you read up on this month’s featured nonprofit, CLASP International, yet? They are a great organization focused on tackling issues affecting special needs children in Zambia. Approaching the issues holistically with five different programs, Emergency, Emergent, Educational, Effect, and Equipment, CLASP’s mission is to provide self-sustaining programming that allows each country to pass along training to future professionals working with special needs populations.
This year, CLASP is in the process of raising $18,000 to purchase 90 Embrace Infant Warmer Incubators for the University of Teaching Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Lusaka, Zambia. Traditional incubators cost around $200,000, but CLASP is partnering with Embrace to purchase infant warmer incubators for 1% of the cost at $200 per incubator. The University of Teaching Hospital’s NICU unit currently has no working incubators, but hopefully by the end of 2011, that will no longer be the case.
