Partnering for Progress

We are a group of individuals seeking to make a difference by empowering one region at a time. We are Significant strides have been made in less than a decade.

HISTORY OF PARTNERING FOR PROGRESS
In June 2007, four volunteers traveled from Spokane, Washington, to Kopanga, Kenya, as medical volunteers. The experience would change the lives of those volunteers, Dr. Michael Mainer, Stacey Mainer ARNP, Sandy Ivers and her son Nick, and would lead to long-lasting impact in this impoverished region of southwest Kenya. These Spokane-based volunteers worked at a

small, understaffed, inadequately supplied clinic which treated a steady progression of severely malnourished infants, pregnant women, children and adults with malaria, diarrhea, debilitating skin conditions, poor nutrition and HIV/AIDS. By the time the team returned to America, they were determined to find a way to help the people of this destitute region. By 2008, they established Partnering for Progress, a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring access to health care, sanitation, clean water and educational opportunities. P4P consistently organizes bi-annual medical/education trips to Kopanga to provide care and educate local medical providers. P4P raised funds to build and support a new medical facility in Kopanga, has installed clean water systems, implemented an infant nutrition program, and funded scholarships for elementary and secondary school students. Having met the goal of establishing a self-sustaining medical clinic in Kopanga, P4P is now expanding into the community to develop additional collaborative relationships with health providers, schools and local water committees. As P4P moves forward, economic development projects will be created to address poverty, the root cause of so many challenges in this part of the world. MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Partnering for Progress is to help provide access to health care, education, sanitation and clean water to residents in developing countries. COLLABORATION, EMPOWERMENT & SUSTAINABILITY
Partnering for Progress is passionately committed to our mission. We work first to understand the needs of the communities we serve through open communication with local, regional and government organizations. By collaborating with those educators, leaders and health care workers and designing culturally relevant, locally supported projects, P4P is a catalyst for change and a tool to break the long-standing cycle of poverty and disease. OUR 2020/2021 GOALS

Nutrition - provide supplements to malnourished infants along with weekly education and cooking instruction for caregivers to reduce child mortality. Education - increase school attendance with water projects, sanitary towel distribution, and high school scholarships. Water - coordinate fresh drinking water projects to reduce waterborne illnesses. Health - provide educational opportunities for health providers and empower them to become agents of change in their communities. Service Teams - organize medical, education, and engineering volunteer teams to travel to Kopanga to provide on-site treatment, training, education and project development. Collaborate - work with community health providers, school leaders and local water committees for current and future projects.
