2012 Kileva Centre Appeal

As I mentioned in my previous post, sickness in the Ndara region of Sagalla where the Kileva Dispensary and the Kileva Eastfield School are located is common, and so I’ve received requests from both Margaret and the Assistant Chief of the region asking for our help to improve the facilities at the Kileva  Community Centre & Dispensary.

Please take a momemt to read their letters (below) and if you’d then like to make a donation to the 2012 Kileva Centre Appeal, please visit our JustGiving page at http://www.justgiving.com/Kileva-Centre-2012.

Thank you very much for your support.

Best wishes,

Cliff

RE:ASSISTANCE FOR KIRUMBI DISPENSARY/COMMUNITY CENTRE

On behalf of Kirumbi community, i kindly wish to submit the above stated requisition for the Kileva Community Centre/Dispensary. Kirumbi Dispensary is located 12km from Voi town in Tsavo East National Park. The dispensary is a Kileva Foundation initiative and the main purpose of Kileva Foundation building the dispensary is because the two villages [MWAKOMA AND KIRUMBI] are far away from Moi Hospital which is located at Voi town, and diseases such as cholera, typhoid, light dysentry, malaria and snakebites are too common and much lives are lost during the search for medical attention or treatment.

Currently we are using the Kileva Centre/Community Dispensary for relief food programme store offerd by world vision and other NGOs. We also use it for clinical vaccines for kids e.g measles, polio etc. This means the government/ medical officer visit the site once per month. Apart from that, the medical officers use that day for advice, giving out mosquito nets etc.

Currently the area [Ndara sub-location] Assistant chief [Mr Alex Mwambungu]uses one room as his office and it has become easy for the youth who are 18yrs acquire letteres for identity cards [National ID]. Also local barazas [meetings] are done there too for solving cases eg pregnancies, local taboo defaultres etc.

We are also requesting for atleast 100 plastic chairs. All the water from the roof is to be trapped and be utilised, thats why we come to you for an assistance.

May God bless you Abundantly.

Thanking you for your continued support.

Yours faithfully,

Margaret Samba Kiriro.
