Dear supporters, Dear friends

We have a new donation account

Why did we decide to switch to GLS Bank?

is exclusively investing in ecological and social projects and companies since many years. The bank does neither finance companies which are violating labor and human rights, nor does it speculate with our money in arms trade, climate-damaging practices or nuclear energy. GLS stands for people before profits and so do we at HHF!

If we want to change something for a better future, we also need to know what happens with our money!

We’ve learned a lot about Covid and what we know for sure is that hand hygiene plays a huge role in staying safe. We’ve also realized that the majority of community based health facilities in Kenya lack water and a place for everyone to wash their hands. We want to make sure that health facilities are equipped to handle this pandemic, and every other challenge that arises after this as well. Hospitals should be a place where people can go to get well and hygiene is the number one most effective tool to make that happen. We want to raise 3500€ to build TEN permanent hand washing stations at TEN CLINICS in rural Kenya. Can you help us?

This week we sponsored medical clinics in Nakuru north with our partners The Nathan Hall Williams Center. We provided comprehensive reproductive health and well child services to all in need. We also went to local schools and provided health screenings, health and hygiene information sessions, and HPV vaccines to all girls. Thank you to all of you for making this possible!

This week we sponsored two clinics with our partners @nhwc in Ndondori for everything women’s health! We provided much needed antenatal care, family planning, cervical cancer screening, breast cancer screening, well-baby check ups and childhood immunizations, and health education on disease prevention, hygiene, and COVID. We are so glad to be back on the ground providing primary healthcare to anyone in need!
...
We are taking extra precautions as COVID cases in Kenya are rising. This means smaller groups of people over the course of a couple of days, rather than the big clinics of the past.

Yesterday was the second clinic of the month and proved much more challenging for our partners The Nathan Hall Williams Center than the first. This time they moved to a more rural village and it was clear that planting season and growing food takes precedent over healthcare during these trying times. Nevertheless, we provided comprehensive women’s health services to all who came.
...
Despite having been sensitized and trained on covid prevention, we didn’t witness anyone taking simple precautions such as wearing masks, social distancing, and the like. This is an area we need to spend much more time in. We are brainstorming ideas for several different health centered projects in the region. Your contribution allows us to reach these communities and to empower them through healthcare, training, and resource mobilization. Thank you for your support!

#HHFSLEEPOUT

On Saturday 25 September we will organize our second HHF Sleep Out. Another action to draw attention to the issue of homelessness. 

The number of homeless people is increasingly rising - the Corona crisis is exacerbating the problem. At the same time, the pandemic is making conditions more difficult than ever for people without shelter.

The cold weather is just around the corner and we want to collect more donations with another action to support further different institutions and initiatives in the cold months. For example, with a €18, - donation you can already distribute a winterproof sleeping bag. 

Everyone can participate, we challenge you to sleep outside, with friends at home in the garden, on the balcony, in the car, etc.. 

If you want to join use the #hhfsleepout or the donations link:

Today we sponsored a youth training and clinic in Ndondori. 220 young people learned all about puberty, hygiene, wellbeing, sexual health, lifestyle diseases, and Covid. They were given medication where necessary and those who were old enough were given family planning of their choice. Girls were also given the HPV vaccine. A great success for one of our first clinics back on the ground!

Arrived safely! Finally the container with medical equipment has made it to it‘s new home The Nathan Hall Williams Center in Nakuru, Kenya. Thank you all so much for making this possible! There are hundreds of people waiting to get medical equipment. We're looking forward to see the distributions in the next weeks/months.
