Lake Tanganyika Floating Medical Clinic - Indian Ocean Blues and Greens




I assure you that you’ll be inspired by my next cause - Lake Tanganyika Floating Medical Clinic. Take a few minutes to peruse their website and watch the videos… Their goal is to provide medical services to the 3 million people living along the remote coast of Lake Tanganyika. In a region where the only reliable transportation takes place by boat, they decided to build a regional hospital on a ship that travels up and down the coastlines serving the remote lakeside communities. But they are more than a floating hospital, they are partners to the lakeside communities, advocating for the needs of the lake and her people. 
Pretty tall task, but you can help!
The pictures below are taken at the beautiful Indian Ocean off of the East Kenya Coast. The first picture represents the "old way" of serving the communities (via camels) and the second two pictures  represent the smallest versions of the ship and people that bring hope to millions in the communities along Lake Tanganyika. 

These three pictures are all for sale and all proceeds will go to the Lake Tanganyika Floating Medical Clinic. You can purchase any of the photos by clicking on the image(s) of choice or donate directly here. If you choose the latter, just let me know that you’ve donated and I will send you a digital file of the picture of your choice to use as a desktop photo. Either way, you are helping an amazing cause! Please pass along to anyone that you think may want to support the need in Lake Tanganyika.
