The City Project has worked with diverse community groups for years to help make the dream come true for a two square mile park in the Baldwin Hills in the historic African American heart of Los Angeles. We worked with the community to stop the power plant in the Park in 2001, to stop the garbage dump in the Park in 2003, and to save the Baldwin Hills Conservancy and budget in 2005 when a governor’s commission threatened to eliminate both.

We are working with the community, Community Health Councils, and Baldwin Hills Conservancy to submit ensure full and fair analyses of health and environmental impacts of oil drilling through the environmental impact report and community standards district, and temporary moratorium on new oil wells.

We visited a nutrition centre at Mahagi’s Anglican Health centre. The programme is supervised by COOPI and UNICEF provides the medicines, therapeutic milk and supplementary feeding products. It is the only nutrition centre for the whole of Mahagi health zone which has a population of about 130,000 people and is in some points 80km wide. The staff and community health workers, who are spread out across the zone, have been trained on how to identify, prevent and treat malnutrition.
