Over the last weeks we have been supporting our neighbors Die Lüdenscheider Tafel, a local food bank, with the distribution of food packages to needy people in our town.
Since the corona virus outbreak our local food bank is closed until May. We joined an initiative which was started by several local organizations, Die Lüdenscheider Tafel, Glücksbringer eV and Willi&Söhne, to collect and bring food to people who are in quarantine or are in need. Through an online and newspaper call up people were informed if they need food. Distributions were done weekly, likely the last tour is next week. Early May our neighbors will reopen.
„Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much“
Water filter project update: Thank you so much to all of you who have shown support for our water filter project over the last week. Clean water is so important to good health and hygiene and that’s even more important than ever in these trying times. At the moment we are waiting for a directive from the Kenyan government. We hope to be able to continue with one on one distributions in the coming weeks. We will keep you updated!
We are sad to say that our clinic with The Nathan Hall Williams Centerthis week has been postponed due to corona virus. We are doing our part to follow the directive from the Kenyan government by not holding public gatherings of any kind until further notice. We will however be on call should individuals need emergency healthcare and/or medication and if food security becomes an issue for families in need. We will let you know the new clinic date as soon as we know more. Thank you for all of your support!

102nd medical clinic with our local partner The Nathan Hall Williams Center today. This integrated clinic was held in Kirima Top Nakuru. As always we offered free healthcare services with cervical cancer screening for both men and women, prostate cancer screening, nutrition, family planning, antenatal care, HIV testing and counseling. 154 patients today. Your support makes it possible we can do these monthly clinics.
Great news! Our next container full of wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, medical equipment and supplies is almost on its way to our partners The Nathan Hall Williams Center in Kenya! It’s been a long process to get the necessary inspections, permits, and shipping documentation but we want to make sure that we do things the right way. Some of you may remember that our first container was stuck clearing customs last time and we want to avoid that at all costs. With any luck we will complete the inspection process and be ready to ship in February!
Rehabilitation health clinic at The Nathan Hall Williams Center in Nakuru. 101th clinic with our local partner. A lot of new patients came and saw the importance of physiotherapy.
The first days of 2020 we've been busy cleaning up and reorganizing our warehouse. Upstairs we have now some space left, the first steps are now being made for a wardrobe with goods which we received from our supporters.
Next month we're starting a new local project where once a week needy people in our town/area are able to get/or trade clothes,shoes and other useful goods they need. Updates about this following soon.
Our water projects in Kenya with The Nathan Hall Williams Center are getting a boost this year. In the next couple of weeks we are embarking on a large scale monitoring and evaluation program. We are working with several community health volunteers and we will visit every household we distributed a water filter to in Kapkures. If you’ve been keeping track, that’s over 800 homes! We will find out how often the households are using the water filters, what is working well, and what issues have come up that we can help with. We will use the information to help the water filter company innovate solutions and also to improve our training and distributions in future.
These projects are possible because of people like you! Thank you for being a part of what we have started. Our campaign shirt is still available or if you consider making a donation, please check our website, to help us expand our projects this year!
You know the work we do on the ground in Kenya makes a big difference to a lot of people. Water filters, clinics, wheelchairs, and rehabilitation and therapy are all impacting thousands of lives. In order to continue our work on the ground, we need to support our local partner to make things happen. Reaching people on the ground takes time, expertise, and the heart to do it. After more than eight years working together, we believe in our partners and friends at NHWC. They need our help to continue doing that work we’ve started.

One of the reasons why we came so far is because so many volunteers took the time and talent to help this organization.
If you are thinking about setting up a benefit show or want to run a sports event and collect donations or just have a creative idea get in touch. We are always looking for people who could help out at our warehouse or at shows.
