Community Outreach
Caring beyond the clinic​
Too many people delay care because of poverty, distance, or fear. Our outreach division builds trust, shares knowledge, and restores dignity, one small step at a time. Screenings are voluntary and conducted by qualified professionals. No diagnoses are made at the health fairs, and privacy is always protected.
Our Purpose: Health starts beyond the clinic
At Myclinic, we know that health isn’t only about what happens in a consultation room. It’s about access, dignity, and everyday circumstances, whether a child has shoes to walk to school, whether an elderly person can get screened for blood pressure, or whether families feel safe and supported.
That’s why we’ve created a dedicated Community Outreach Division: to respond to the social determinants of health that affect the communities we serve.
This work happens outside our clinics, but it’s still part of our care.
Our mission
To create healthier communities by addressing the social, economic, and environmental factors that impact health, through outreach, education, and practical support.
We run public health events, sponsor school support drives, and partner with families and funders to bring health equity closer to home.
Public health awareness
Health begins with behaviour and behaviour begins with understanding. At Myclinic, our outreach division focuses on public health on behavioural health education that empowers individuals to make informed, practical decisions about their well-being. We host health literacy sessions in schools, churches, and community spaces, covering topics such as chronic disease prevention, safe parenting, mental health awareness, and early help-seeking behaviour.
These sessions are part of a wider commitment to tackling the social determinants of health. Our outreach also includes practical, dignity-affirming projects such as:
Current campaign:
Diodi Primary School toilets
On Youth Day 2025, Myclinic and our community partners led a solidarity build which highlighted many issues in the community. For months, 881 learners at Diodi Primary have endured unsanitary, unusable ablutions. 38% of whom lack the paperwork to qualify for access to grants, all against a backdrop of very high local unemployment. We cannot let these children learn at such a disadvantage. We’re calling on our shared responsibility, Myclinic, community partners and the SGB and parents of Diodi, to come together and build safe, hygienic toilets for every pupil.
​
What we need
Labour:
Parents, bring your hands and skills. Join local patrol groups and sponsors on site to fix the toilets so they are user friendly.
​
Materials & Expertise:
If you have in-kind supplies (bricks, cement, paint, toilets, basins) or trade experience (plumbing, carpentry), we need you.
​
Advocacy & Funds:
Spread the word in your networks, or contribute financially to cover specialist fixtures and hygiene supplies.
Why It Matters:
Health & Hygiene: Proper toilets cut disease transmission and reduce infection risks.
Safety & Privacy: Secure, well-lit facilities protect learners, especially girls, from bullying and abuse.
Access & Equity: When parents and community share the labour, every child, regardless of paperwork or fees, can learn with dignity.
Join us in action:
Parents of Diodi Primary, please RSVP to volunteer at the school and indicate any materials or skills you can contribute.
​
Together, we’ll transform these toilets and give Diodi’s children the safe, dignified learning environment they deserve.
Past projects timeline
In winter, many children still walk to school barefoot. We’re walking with them, so they don’t have to.
This Youth Day, Myclinic and our community partners are leading a localised solidarity march through Mapetla to deliver school shoes to learners in need. The event not only restores dignity and safety for young people, it raises awareness of the social and environmental risks that affect children’s access to health, education, and protection.
We’ll march together, school by school, with volunteers, sponsors, parents, and healthcare workers. Read about it on our blogs: https://www.myclinichealthcare.co.za/post/from-a-whisper-to-a-movement-the-march-for-school-shoes
