Through MICRO LOANS, Otis has enlarged his clinic and little by little he is improving his premises. As a nurse, Otis continues to help the sick and needy in their community. He carries the same vision as Provision of Hope. See a previous blog post Micro Loans Help In Rebuilding Liberia Today, because of the micro loans, Otis has been able to upgrade his pharmacy to this level.
