CrossFit NBK for Rwanda

Here at CrossFit NBK we have always believed in creating healthier people. This mission has aligned us to partner with Do Good Health (a newly launched project through the non-profit arm of Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee) to help build a medical clinic in Kivu, Rwanda. This community currently has to walk up to 20 hours to get to a hospital, and the distance often makes them not go at all. We are not okay with that!

Do Good Health is designed to spearhead the demand for medical care in underserved areas. They were given 99 lots of land in the most underserved and in need areas of Rwanda to build medical centers. Construction on the very first one will begin this August!

The first clinic is on the site of Land of a Thousand Hills coffee washing station by Lake Kivu. Health assessments in the area reported high levels of knee and back pain among coffee farmers, mainly due to improper biomechanics when lifting 157 lb. bags of coffee.  Along with fundraising to help build the clinic, we will be programming corrective routines for those who move wrong, as well as fitness routines to help decrease the risk of non-communicable disease (diabetes, high blood pressure) in the community. We are excited to say that these programs will be prescribed in the clinic.

We are raising money to build 2 rooms at the flagship Medical Center. At $30 a square foot, each room comes out to $2,500. 100% of the money raised will go directly to the construction.

A donation of any amount makes a difference!
