My capstone topic

I started out with a topic on refugee camps, but ended up being forced to alter it into a more local topic which was about refugees post settlement. I did research on refugees that have settled down in America, yet never gotten any medical care or checkup. I found out that there were thousands that were misdiagnosed due to their inability to speak the language, died because they were unable to pay for medical care...etc.I was going to create a website that will enable refugees to get in contact with doctors all around the world. the website will be able to translate as well as save refugees from face to face confrontations that many dislike. I was thinking about putting up fliers and information about the website at the local refugee shelter. Computer is accessible to anyone nowadays, libraries or even at the shelter. However, I was told to find a disease in a certain country and find a cure for it....
so I don't know where I'm going from here.
