Our monthly continuing medical education for healthcare workers was held last Thursday in Nakuru East Sub-County. As we kick off a new season of community- based cancer screenings, our training served as an opportunity to bring five facilities together to discuss cervical and breast cancers sensitization messaging, to incorporate the most recent research on preventative testing in outreach settings, to update protocols for screening, referral, and treatment, and to formulate strategies for mobilizing people as early as possible. Kenya has continued to develop its response to the increase of reported cancers nationwide and efforts to scale up community-based screenings are one of the ways we catch cancers earlier on. This not only helps improve the effectiveness of treatment but also drastically increases survival rates as well. … Healthcare workers continue to be one of our most dedicated and valued stakeholders in our programs. Thanks to our partner The Nathan Hall Williams Center and everyone supporting our health-centered programs in Kenya!

Support for homeless people in Brussels. Since 2017 we have been supporting Solidarité Grand Froids, located in the center of the city, this charity is always very grateful.

But what is frightening to hear is that they can no longer keep up with the help. For example, in the beginning where we came by with a full sprinter, the things lasted for weeks. At the moment the demand has grown so much that they are out of stock within a week. It's shocking to see the concerning rise of homeless in Brussels. Compared to last year, homelessness in this region has increased by over 32%.

  Dear supporters,

we are extremely concerned about the fighting and its impact on the people of Ukraine. The situation is changing rapidly and many citizens have already been forced to leave their homes. In the last few days we have been working under high pressure with our network of different NGO's and friends from the event industry on how we can help the people of Ukraine. With the money collected here, we and our partner organizations want to create an infrastructure to bring medical supplies and needed donations to the various borders of Ukraine, equip emergency shelters and - as soon as possible - to organize safe and fast ways to bring people to Germany and neighboring countries and provide them there with the most necessary. As the situation is changing rapidly, we are also trying to react as flexible as possible to the situation. If you want to be informed about updates and support us with in-kind donations, please keep an eye on our social media posts.

Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something - Fuck War!

Work is underway at Bahati Rural Health Centre in Nakuru North Sub-County. This project is a partnership initiative with The Nathan Hall Williams Center to improve hygiene facilities across Nakuru County. This facility is one of five clinics that will receive a permanent hand washing station, increased water storage capacity, and health and hygiene training and capacity building to multiply the effects of the new and improved infrastructure. Check back in with us to see how this project progresses over the next few weeks!

Together with our partner Bol-anon sa Germany Boholhilfe e.V. we are organizing a relief action for the victims of typhoon Odette.

Just before Christmas, super Typhoon Rai, in the Philippines known as Odette, made its first landfall, bringing torrential rains, violent winds, mudslides, floods and storm surges to the Visayas and Mindanao Islands.

Overnight, the Typhoon left thousands of families homeless. Odette damaged 1.57 million homes across 11 of the Philippines 17 regions, with around 180.000-200.000 people still displaced – either still in evacuation centers or staying with friends, family or other temporary housing. 61% of all completely destroyed homes are in the most affected provinces Cebu, Bohol and Surigao del Norte.

Needs are tremendous. Displaced people require safe, temporary shelter and repair kits to rebuild their homes. Many of them also require food, clean water and medicines. People need access to sanitation and hygiene facilities. The Typhoon left cities and municipalities without electricity, running water or network/ internet connections. Many affected people are now relying on springs and hand pumps for water, many of which are reported to have been contaminated by flood and sea waters.

We were able to pack the first shipments, which goes out to the most affected areas in Surigao del Norte and Bohol with (children’s) clothes, sandals, blankets, towels, hygiene products, first aid kits and masks. While the first shipments are packed and soon to be picked up we continue to raise funds. The funds from this campaign will buy tools, to help rebuild their homes, solar lamps, generators for electricity and we can organize more of the water filters we already have distributed in Kenya.

Thank you for taking your time to read this post and thank you for your support.
