The Cyimbili Health Community Service Project is a partnership between ALARM-Rwanda, CompassioNow, and the Cyimbili community. The objective of this project is to increase the quality of life of the Cyimbili community by improving the healthcare service delivery systems at the Cyimbili Health Center (CHC).
