Mobile Teams
Mobile Medical and Dental Teams
The majority of people worldwide lack access to the level of healthcare available in the Western world. We focus on delivering healthcare services to remote areas and refugee populations where access to care is minimal or nonexistent. Additionally, WCF prioritizes training local healthcare workers and community leaders, with a special emphasis on supporting these underserved and impoverished communities.
Our team evaluates and prioritizes patient care, utilizing portable medical devices including glucometers, urinalysis kits, sonograms, EKG machines, and X-ray equipment. Afterward, patients consult with a medical practitioner who prescribes suitable medications, treatments, and follow-up care. A mobile pharmacy is established to dispense medications to each patient. Additionally, we conduct community health awareness sessions.
Mobile Vocational & Business Training Teams
People in impoverished regions face challenges accessing quality education and skills, leaving many unprepared for the workforce. Vocational training is needed to bridge this gap, equipping people with practical skills aligned with local job markets.
WCF helps individuals gain job and business skills to support themselves and their families in a globalized world. English is in high demand as the universal language of trade, and computer literacy is essential for higher-paying jobs. Millions risk being left behind without access to education and digital resources.
Our team offers intensive training in English, Computer, and Business, along with skills like Sewing and Carpentry, tailored to local needs.
