1. Project Summary
Donga Tunto, a remote community in Central Ethiopia, suffers daily from a
lack of accessible medical care. Families travel hours—sometimes days—for basic
treatment, leading to preventable deaths from treatable illnesses. The
Everlasting Gospel Projects (EGP) seeks to raise $200,000 to build and
operate a medium-level health clinic that will offer maternity services,
diagnostics, emergency care, and more. The clinic will also serve as a center
for medical missionary work, bringing hope to both body and soul.
2. The Need: Why Donga Tunto?
- No nearby well equipped medical
services for thousands of people in Donga Tunto and Hadaro.
- Extreme poverty: Most families live on less than
$1.90/day.
- High rates of preventable
illnesses and child mortality.
- Urgent health conditions include:
malaria, pneumonia, maternal deaths, typhoid, trachoma, and malnutrition.
- 67% of Ethiopian women give birth
without skilled help (UNICEF, 2024).
“This is not just a clinic—it is a lifeline.”
3. The Vision: A Mission-Driven Clinic
- Treat physical illness while
pointing people to Jesus Christ.
- Offer prayer, Bible study
opportunities, and health education.
- Build trust through service,
following Christ’s example (Matt. 4:23).
“Christ’s method alone will give true success in reaching the
people… He ministered to their needs, and won their confidence. Then He bade
them, ‘Follow Me’.” —Ellen G. White, Ministry of Healing, p. 143
