Help me "Complete the Clinic!!" (And Ifyakulya.)

     So first off, a shameless plug about the grant Im working on; Complete the Clinic.  My village has no medical facility and the closest one is 15 km away, problem is its technically in another district so my villagers get turned away a lot.  The nearest clinic within out district is 40 km away, and we have no transportation or cell phone service in my area and biking 40 km is sometimes a problem for sick or pregnant women.     In 2011, the Ministry of Health started building a clinic in my village but ran out of funding so progress has stopped.  Ive got their backing that if I finish buying supplies (80% paint, doors, locks, ect, windows, and a solar fridge, along with basic medical supplies and vaccines) theyll help cover the costs of labor, staff placement and some medicines.   So thats where my donation grant comes in! Ive only $2,300 left to raise of the $5,000 I budgeted for so more than half way there! There is a catch, if I DONT raise the $5,000 I dont get ANY of the money
