Infrastructure
Building a future for those who need it in Kenya
As our newest project we are very excited about the infrastructure opportunities in the country. We are looking forward to developing this project more and are excited about the potential this project can have. While we feel that our immediate priorities are with those in danger with life-threating diseases and the establishment of temporary clinics, our team is also laying the foundations of future plans to support permanent health infrastructure in Kenya.
Our vision for this land is to build a clinic which will serve the community. It is planned that this facility will also be used as a cancer centre. Along with the clinic we hope to build accommodation to house our volunteers.
Clinic – It has been a long term dream of Kenya Health to secure some land in Kenya. We are excited that we have purchased 2 lovely acres on the outskirts of Nakuru.
Our Accommodation
Due to the generosity of Noel and Kate Doyle and other supporters in 2018, we were able to construct a clinic and accommodation on site. The building includes a downstairs reception, 3 consultation rooms and a secure pharmacy. The upstairs area is being used for volunteer accommodation with a view in the future to offer onsite residential programs as they are developed.
Heading On-site Nurse’s House?
In 2023, our final major development on the site was the erection of a 3-bedroom house so that we could accommodate a program co-ordinator to oversee our ongoing programs.
Powering Kenya Health Using Solar Panels
Rotary, in particular Mt Warning am and Murwillumbah Rotary Central jointly funded the installation of solar power attached to the bore so that we can operate independently of an unreliable power supply and model sustainable practices to the local community.
How we get around.
As we mainly run our clinics in rural and remote areas around Nakuru we have a Toyota 12 seater van to transport our volunteers and local support workers and our drugs to the clinics.
Water Bore
Murwillumbah Adventist Church funded the sinking of a bore on our property in 2020. We are able to use the bore water to top up water requirements in our building and water the cash crops we grow on site.
