Zimbabwe: Emerald Hill School and Newlands Clinic, Harare

The Newlands Clinic in Zimbawe, with which we work closely and which was established under the Ruedi Lüthy Foundation for the benefit of HIV-infected people, could only be partially operated. The planned screening programme for children and the possible provision of hearing aids could only be carried out in individual cases. COVID has practically paralysed Harare and extremely restricted mobility!

Construction of an audiology centre. Goal: Hearing solutions for three hundred and fifty children, education programme. In view of the very difficult political situation we are concentrating on meeting basic needs. Start: In year 2000 in close collaboration with Nico van der Merve (Phonak agent in South Africa) and the headquarters of Phonak, the Swiss hearing aid manufacturers.
