Infrastructure Projects
Between February and June 2011, Africa Mercy volunteers in Sierra Leone also trained more than 500 people in mental health care, agriculture and church leadership.
In addition to medical and surgical care, community development projects are an important component of the ship's mandate. Mercy Ships infrastructure projects include construction and improvements in sanitation and hygiene. Volunteers help communities to achieve sustainable food production through the provision of seeds, tools and training.

Famous quotes containing the word projects:
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
