Christella Sustainable growth development

Problem:

Apparently, as a part of people living with rare disease, in which I was diagnosed of sickle cell anaemia when I was six years old, I realized the challenges people living with rare disease are face from emphaty. 

Their education, social life, health, dreams and vision are all traumatized leaving them almost isolated from the world through various stigmatization from people with no adequate care and most of them end up dead at early age and majority becoming useless to themselves and the society due to the nature of their diseases.

Solution:

By taking part in just concluded Global Alliance of Sickle Cell Disease Organization which was their first virtual meeting, I gained more understanding to my solution which is Christella sustainable growth development project in assisting those living with rare diseases from their challenges which is supporting them with daily care management to reduce the effect of stigmatization and psychological issues through provision of food, good water supply and medical assistance during crises with the help of Ghana's NHIS and Sickle Cell Foundation and implementation of the medical knowledge gotten from the works of Novartis in which I would really need assistance from them in the next future in empowering me establish a sickle cell Foundation that would be easily accessible in helping people living with the disease.

The target population is about 200 people living with ScD from different regions in Ghana. 

They have been on and off hospital on a regular basis putting them off jobs, schools and making them hopeless and stigmatised with no clear future hope for them.

Christella sustainable growth development project would provide them with food from our Agricultural food products, employment opportunities with easy jobs within their strength and proper medical assistance whenever the need arises

Base on the truth that i am also a victim of people living with rare disease, I strongly understood how much effects people living with rare diseases pass through on a daily basis and this puts me and my team in a better position to combat these challenges.

Medical data and records have been collected from various local hospitals and proper supervision are in place from our organization and also from the local communities in ensuring prompt response to proceedings.

Proper adequate meeting has been held within our organization and also with the community leaders religious leaders, youth representatives, security operatives and the general public to ensure a sustainable growth development and equity distribution of resources.

Medical team of doctors and nurses are in place to administer medical assistance whenever the need arises.

Every data and records be it written, video or audio recordings from the on-site staff, general public would be finally brought to the office, even the public opinions gathered  from every projects for the internal and external evaluators to check and balance the operations and the outcome of the evaluation would determine where to channel our services, where to improve, people that are most in need be it in health care services or food production, discovery of any mismanagement and where security and governmental policy is affecting or applicable.

Releasing grants to organisations is not always easy by grantors, therefore, surpassing the expectation of our grantors and getting more effective and viable networks for more technical and financial support is our long time goal and the following approaches are set aside in making them achievable:

1, we are committed to the unique provision of a personal and tailored social and security services able to satisfy and exceed customers expectations.

2, seeing visible accomplishment through the life changes and testimonies from our beneficiaries especially women, children, girls and physically challenged ones.

All these should be achieved by the end of every Project usually first year of commencement.

Due to the stigmatization and other challenges that people living with rare disease are facing like unemployment, lack of care and attention, lack of social life etc, even coming out openly to discuss or get a care for their needs.

 Therefore, Christella sustainable growth development introduces a mobile pin that enables them to meet with an agent and discuss their needs privately which is so uncommon especially in Africa, even those living with Sickle Cell Disease can discuss their challenges, seek medical assistance, jobs, social relationship perhaps seeking for a partner for relationship. 

All these would make life more meaningful and enjoyable for rare disease patients and this makes our solution so very much innovative.

As Christella sustainable growth development projects grows by achieving it's aims and objectives over a period of time with an evident manifestation of changes in life of people living with rare diseases that are being catered for, we are anticipating for an applaudable recognition within the regions in Ghana between the commencement date and over a year. 

Our next five years agenda would be to take Christella sustainable growth development projects to all the countries in Africa especially west Africa and all over the world with the empowerment through technical, financial and psychological aid that we must have gotten from MIT Solve and it's partners, Government organizations and both public and private enterprises coupled with our own unending work force and various input in maintaining a sustainable growth development all over our reachable places.

We measure our progress towards our impact goals through the following means:

Public opinion: from the information gathered from people concerning our social assistance and how impactful it's to peoples life.

Patients testimonies: the evident results and confessions from people living with rare disease, how their lives have been bettered and meaningful  are also used as a measuring means to our progress.

Management observation: based on our data collection and personal observation by the management, we scale up our progress as time goes.

Government and public recommendation: this is how our works are applaudable to government and general public.

Our solution is so strongly believed to bring about a far greater positive impacts on the problems or challenges that those living with rare diseases are facing due to our well planned theory of change which is as follows:

Every data and records be it written, video or audio recordings from the on-site staff, general public would be finally brought to the office, even the public opinions gathered  from every projects for the internal and external evaluators to check and balance the operations and the outcome of the evaluation would determine where to channel our services, where to improve, people that are most in need be it in health care services or food production, discovery of any mismanagement and where security and governmental policy is affecting or applicable.

With these proceedings, our theory of change would bring evident tremendous solution to problems.

The core technology that powers our solution is the christella sustainable growth development mobile sms/call that is made available through the input of a mobile pin code from all mobile devices which can be used from all mobile networks in the country and it's a toll free connection for all patients living with rare diseases.

Our approach to incorporating diversity, equity and inclusivity are as follows:

Proper sensitization of the students, workers, traders and the entire public on how everyone can be a care- giver irrespective of status, age or gender or any societal value.

Adequate meeting arrangements with the local chiefs, landlords, religious leaders, security operatives and youth representatives on how to promote peace and progress, women, children and girls respect and protection, political and social stability, gender equality and equity distribution of resources etc in order to make our solution a sustainable.

Government, Public and Private stakeholders in making rules, policies that can easily accommodate and provide basic needs to people living with rare diseases.

Our business model is:

Christella sustainable development growth solution is a security and restaurant food service industry basically for profit making but the generated profits are diversified into projects that better humanity by supporting women, girls, children, physically challenged and less privileged ones especially the aged sick ones and people living with rare diseases in the society.
We've embarked on projects like Agricultural food production, waste management control, building of boreholes and proper construction of drainage system, health care services and educational assistance to children.

We've mapped out strategies and methods that would make our projects goals achievable and sustainable and they are:
Women Empowerment and job creation for individuals from our agricultural food production, restaurant and security services, waste management control program and adequate training facilities for both skill and unskilled individuals.

Our products and solution are widely and strongly needed because it's provide basic needs to people and better their lives making it meaningful to them and opens doors for them in making their purpose, dreams for life achievable.

Our plans of becoming becoming financially sustainable is by making sure that our products sales maintains it's growth and development in order to keep up profit increase and accommodating our expenses with no negative effects which is one of our sure source of income for financial sustainability and also doing everything humanly possible with God's Grace in making MIT Solve grant gettable which is strongly and badly needed to empower us financially and technically in making our solution scalable, sustainable and making us surpass the expectation of our customers, beneficiaries and our financiers.

Financial sustainability is all about prudency, dedication and commitment. These have been our key strategy to financial sustainability right from onset.

Our financial projections from our last three years starting from 2019, 2020 and 2021 are as follows and the figures below are in local currency which is Ghana cedis, apologies for not converting into US dollars which is to clarity and time management.

The Expected revenue of 35,000, 39,000 and 45,000 respectively, while our cost of goods sold (10,000), (12,000)and (12,500) giving us a Gross Profit of 25,000, 27,000 and 32,500 respectively. Other projects solution expenses of (5,000), (4,200) and (4,500) respectively, bringing our EBITDA to 20,000, 22,800 and 28,000 with our EBITDA margin to 57.14%, 58.46% and 62.22%. Our depreciation was (0), (1,000) and (2,000) respectively and our interest on financial cost was (4,000), (3,000) and (2,500). Giving us profit of 16,000, 18,000 and 23,500 respectively and our net profit percentage margin was 45.71%, 48.21% and 52.22% respectively for the three years 2019, 2020 and 2021.

With these outcomes, our solution financial states remains strongly sustainable and promising for any future investment from any financiers or grantors which also puts ahead and unequalled from our competitors.
