Back in Belgium this week. Support for our partner Solidarité Grand Froids in Brussels. The helpvan was packed with winter jackets, hoodies, zippers, jeans, shoes, sleeping bags, hygiene products and a few other things. Thanks again to everyone who regularly donates aid supplies. Your support makes a difference!

When we started sponsoring clinics more than ten years ago, we shared the goal of making high-quality maternity care accessible for all pregnant people in Nakuru County. Together with our partners The Nathan Hall Williams Center and the Kenyan government, we’re achieving that and so much more. There are now more than eight public maternity hospitals in Nakuru County alone, and the level of technology and quality of care continues to rise rapidly. Medical imaging equipment has historically been available in private hospitals and larger referral hospitals, making accessibility limited. The high cost of imaging has also been a significant barrier to care for many. Nakuru County is changing this by rolling out routine point-of-care ultrasounds (POCUS) at community-based maternity hospitals and clinics. Women will soon be able to routinely receive at least two POCUS scans, with the first ideally occurring before the 24th week of pregnancy. POCUS scans give healthcare providers useful information in real-time that they can use to increase the accuracy of their bedside assessments and better manage the course of pregnancy for their patients.

This month, we focused our capacity building for healthcare workers on the use of POCUS machines and the application of that knowledge for patient care. Healthcare workers from Mirugi Kariuki and Nairobi Women’s Hospital will begin using their knowledge and skills to serve their communities, helping to reduce the rates of neonatal and maternal morbidity and mortality across the county. Thank you for your generous support over the years. For those of you who have been a part of our health projects in Kenya since the beginning, look how far we’ve come!

Friday we did a donation delivery in Düsseldorf to Zwischenschritt Jugendhilfe.

An initial reception for stranded refugee juveniles between 14 - 17 years old. These young individuals who arrive here have literally nothing left. Most of them have been traveling for days or weeks without papers, without their parents. This initiative does great work. We brought them this time shoes, hoodies, jackets, socks, jeans, t-shirts and jackets.

We want to thank everyone who send us donations regularly. Without you guys we can’t support these important projects.

Next batch of wheelchairs have arrived in Nakuru. Our partner @nhwc_kenya can finally continue with our mobility project.

👉 ps if you can support us with a functional wheelchair or spare parts, please get in touch!

Healthcare workers at maternity hospitals across the county are at an increased risk of infection from the Influenza virus because of their roles in direct patient care. Influenza can be life-threatening for vulnerable patients such as newborns and those who are immunocompromised. The World Health Organization has identified healthcare workers as one of the critical target groups for flu immunizations due to their increased exposure to viruses and the potential spread of the flu virus. Our training was held at Bondeni Maternity this month, where nurses, public health officers, and others learned the importance of vaccinating themselves, as well as how to sensitize and mobilize the community to get vaccinated as well. The training focused on virus transmission, prevention of infection, treatment and management of disease, and community health messaging.

Your support for our health projects continues to make a difference for healthcare workers and the communities they serve!

In 2024 we continue with our mobility project in Kenya. The next batch of wheelchairs arrived this week in Mombasa.

For this project we’re still looking for functional wheelchairs. Devices are distributed on site by our local partner @nhwc_kenya. Your contribution will make a difference! If you can support us with a wheelchair or spare parts, please get in touch!

This week more winter sleeping bags arrived which we purchased from the latest donations. For those who supported the betterplace and facebook fundraiser, thank you all so much. Also many thanks to Satander Bank Mönchengladbach, Die Sparkasse Lüdenscheid and the city of Lüdenscheid for their sponsorship at the end of last year. This enables us to regularly purchase donations in kind such as sleeping bags, underwear, socks and hygiene items and helps us maintain our logistical network.
