Realized to raise awareness on this parasitic disease and the number of deaths linked to it every day, the 30-second video will be shown as part of the space allowed free on Mediaset campaigns of social utility.

Every year, malaria affects about 250 million and kills nearly one million people worldwide, of which most are children. The Ivo de Carneri Foundation realizes health interventions in poor countries, especially against parasitic diseases and poverty diseases. Among these, since the 2003 the Foundation supports a Dispensary where maternal child care is offered free of charge, with an average of 100 examinations every day for three days a week. In addition to the local surgery, on two days of the week there is a mobile service that runs a car to reach remote places to assist people who cannot get to the dispensary.

Until now a single operating theatre has been used for both general surgery and obstetric emergencies. Often obstetric emergencies interrupted the planned general surgery, causing troubles and delay to the patients and their family.
The Ivo de Carneri Foundation, already engaged in a project to support the surgical ward (Surgery Project), is now supporting also this renovating project and a new operating theatre is almost ready to be used for delivery.

This project will allow the Laboratory to have continuous power supply, overcoming the weighty obstacle represented by the frequent blackouts. At present, in fact, the electrical power depends on the only power station situated in Pemba, supplied by a ship from Tanzania.
The blackouts, which happen on average every other day, require the use of emergency generators, resulting in very high economic cost.
The project involves the installation of solar panels that will provide the electric power needed to make the various equipment work even in case that power supply breaks off, with the single exception of freezers at -80° C (which require the electricity provided by a diesel generator).
The supply, installation and maintenance of the solar panels have been committed to a Tanzanian company, which has performed similar actions on the island before. The installation of the panels has already started.

Open Day 2009

Saturday 12 December 2009, from 10 a.m. to 19 p.m.
Viale Monza 44 and Viale Monza 57 – Milan (MM Pasteur)

After the successful experience in 2008, to Support Christmas 2009 the Ivo de Carneri Foundation once again is opening its doors to supporters, friends and all those who wish to know its initiatives and actions to help countries in developing world.

Saturday 13 December, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m, anyone who is interested in the activities of the Foundation will be able to meet its staff, ask for information about the projects and about the possibilities to support them.

The Ivo de Carneri Foundation Open Day is “twinned” as in 2008 with the Open Day of Terre des Hommes Italy, whose offices are just over the road. This two non-governmental organizations (NGOs), which represent the “pole of solidarity” in a multi-ethnic area of Milan, have been working for years in aid of developing countries and have committed themselves to increasing the awareness among the Italian people. The Ivo de Carneri Foudation and Terre des Hommes Italy have decided to make the event coincide to emphasize the common aspects of the initiatives they carry on alongside the poorest communities.

The detailed programme of the Open Day will be provided in the coming days. The event will represent an opportunity to know the reality of the countries where both organizations work and carry out their projects, thanks to the pictures, the examples of local handcrafts and the stories of the people who have had concrete experiences.

The group took the audience in the happy atmosphere of a tipical celebration in an African village, with their music, songs and dance. All the people were taken into the world of African culture, thanks to the notes and the enthusiasm of the performers, who also invited the audience to dance with their music and rhythm. The Sinafrica had already played in Cles (Trento) a few days ago, with a concert in Piazza Grande Saturday, October 17th. The Ivo de Carneri Foundation thanks all the people who enabled the realization and the success of these days in Cles and in Milan, and thanks all those who follow and support its activities.
