Clinic Update

A visit to the clinic site was achieved in October, despite some much needed rain, which made the journey through the bush rather interesting!



A warm welcome greeted the small group of Yellowmen at the site, with traditional Pokot dancing and singing and plenty of smiles.

The site has been cleared significantly since February and the progress on the building work is remarkable.




In February, the foundations for the materity unit and outpatients building were dug out and the first level of blocks put in. The tribes people have continued the work, and both these buildings are now up to roof height, with plastered walls.



In addition, the villagers have started work on the administration and staff block, now up to window height, and dug out the foundations for the waiting room.





While there is still much to be done, the work to date is excellent, and we are now planning for a solar powered well and staff for the clinic.

The clinic could be ready as early as February 2007, and we are keen to make sure it is fitted out to start helping the local people who have done so much to help themselves.
