FUNDRAISING
Jan 25, 2012
We are so grateful to Catherine Fox for her excellent efforts in running a half marathon in October. All the sponsorship money that she received she donated to the work of the Order of Malta in Lamu. So far she has raised the incredible sum of £1335, which has enabled us to provide some basic household items and furniture in the Doctors House in preparation for a team of volunteer doctors to arrive in mid February.

COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS
Feb 6, 2012
On 12th September 2011 there was a terrible fire in the Sinai village of Mukuru slum in Nairobi. This is one of the areas where we operate a TB and HIV project and we have 6 Community Health Workers there. The fire started when an oil pipeline exploded. Although Kenyan law states that no dwelling should be built within 55 feet of an oil pipeline many of the makeshift homes were built directly on top of it causing deaths to over 100 people, with many more losing their homes.
