Healing Can’t Wait: Why FinishingThe Clinic In Bagungi This September Is Critical!

In the heart of Bagungi, Congo, Kinshasa, hope is being built—brick by brick, wall by wall. Our 7 Blessings Project Foundation medical clinic is nearly complete, but we are facing a critical deadline. This September, we need to finish construction and equip the space so that real healing can begin. The need is urgent, and lives are hanging in the balance.

Right now, a woman in the village is battling sepsis in her leg—a life-threatening infection that is rapidly spreading through her body. Without access to proper medical care and antibiotics, her life is at risk. This is not an isolated case.

Babies and children are falling ill with fevers caused by malaria, melatonin overdoses, and other preventable or treatable illnesses. The village has no permanent medical facility and no consistent access to life-saving medication or care. What would be a simple treatment in another part of the world becomes a dangerous situation in Bagungi.

Our clinic is not just a building—it’s a lifeline.

It will serve as a safe space for:

  • Emergency care

  • Basic wound cleaning

  • Malaria treatment

  • Fever and infection management

  • Maternal and newborn care

  • Chronic condition monitoring

  • And education on topics like dental hygiene, to prevent infections before they start

We’ve seen the dangers of untreated tooth decay and poor oral care—pain, abscesses, and in extreme cases, deadly infections. Through the clinic, we can begin promoting daily hygiene habits, distributing toothbrushes and toothpaste, and teaching families how to protect their health long term.

But to make this clinic operational, we still urgently need more solar panels, batteries, and a converter to power the building. Without electricity, we can’t run lights, medical equipment, or refrigeration for medications. In a region without access to stable power, solar energy is our only option—and it’s not yet complete.

This September, our team is returning to Bagungi with one goal: complete and activate the clinic. We need to pour the floors, install doors, bring in medications and gear, and finalize the solar setup that will keep everything running.

We are close—but we can’t do this alone.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to give or get involved, this is it. Every dollar, every supply, every prayer makes a difference. Help us bring healing, education, and emergency care to those who need it most.

Because healing can’t wait.
