The deplorable conditions in prisons prompted MdM to try to improve the detention conditions and health situation in Kindia’s central prison.


IMPROVING HEALTH IN PRISON.

Kindia - Long term


ACTIVITIES

The objective of the partnership between MdM and the organisation Kindianaise Assistance to Detainees (KAD) is to improve detention conditions in Kindia central prison in terms of the environment (hygiene and sanitation, improvements, refurbishment and maintenance of the premises), health (medical consultations, supplying a pharmacy, nutritional support for people with malnutrition), and reintegration (education, literacy, income-generating activities).
MdM provides technical, financial and moral support to KAD.


RESULTS

In 2010, 224 detainees were treated and 827 received care from KAD for malnutrition, in partnership with the ICRC.


OUTLOOK

MdM plans, context permitting, to increase support for income-generating activities as well as looking for new funders for the programme so that KAD can become increasingly independent.
