More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

The project addresses the health of a disabled girl in Laos by providing her with physical therapy, traditional medications including herbs, and raising funds so that she has access to nutritious foods and the tools necessary for physical therapy.

Activities

If we are able to raise money for a therapuetic bed, Andy will be able to perform exercises on her own and will hopefully be able to walk soon - the goal is in 2009. SEDA is also raising funds for Andy's medicinal treatment and food.

Funding Information

Total Funding Received to Date: £793
Remaining Goal to be Funded: £2,324
Total Funding Goal: £3,117

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

In the long term SEDA hopes that Andy will be able to walk and care for herself as a result of the physical therapy and proper medical care.

Project Message

I saw Andy lying in a plastic chair that was obviously not providing her with the comfort or support she needs. Her body was covered with a towel rather than a proper blanket

Latest Update from the Field

Thank you to all of Andy's donors!

By Celeste Pilegard - PR, July 26, 2010 03:51 PM

On behalf of Andy, SEDA would like to thank all of our donors who contributed to her treatment and rehabilitation. Andy continues to make great strides toward improvement. We will continue to oversee Andy's treatment, and are currently seeking a caretaker to accompany Andy so she can receive full-time treatment at the Rehabilitation Treatment Center (RTC). For more information on this caretaker position, please visit our listing on Idealist.org below.
