As part of its Health Program / Medical Equipment Initiative, Believe in Belize initiated a project to provide 2 ambulances to service the Placencia Peninsula.
Strategically, Believe in Belize would like to assist emergency service providers acquire ambulances throughout Belize. This is our first project. The Rotary Club of Placencia (http://placencia-rotary.squarespace.com/) will assist us with clearing customs in Belize and driving the ambulances to Southern Emergency Services (https://www.facebook.com/sesbelize/) in Stann Creek District who will be the eventual owner of the ambulances and non-profit operator of the emergency service.
The ambulances will serve the Placencia peninsula community of 3,500-5,000 people (depending on tourist season). Currently there is one ambulance privately owned by a local physician. This service is for profit, and with limited availability.
The Rotary Club of Edmonton Riverview in Alberta, Canada (https://www.facebook.com/edmontonriverviewrotary/) is donating both ambulances to Believe in Belize. However, the cost to refurbish and ship each ambulance is US $4,000 - $5,000 so we need to raise funds in the amount of $8,000 - $10,000.
