RAY OF HOPE CLINIC & COMMUNITY CENTRE: WEEKLY REPORT AS AT 30TH AUGUST TO 5TH SEPTEMBER 2010



THE CLINIC


During the week we managed to get 22 out patients and 7 maternity cases. Most of the patients had acute malaria, typhoid, Brucellosis, Diarrhea & vomiting and Pneumonia. Those found with T.B and HIV/AIDs were referred to big hospitals.



In this week we managed to raise a total Kshs 38, 540/-. Maternity generating Kshs 13,300/- while Kshs 25,240/- from out patients, which included lab, tests, drugs, immunizations, antenatal profiles and consultations. Against this total of Kshs 38,550 there were expenses, which totaled to Kshs 26,050/- living a balance of Kshs 12,490.00 that was sent to the bank. I have attached schedules of income generated and expense list.



We also received $ 1,200 dollars equivalent to Kshs 91,200 from Florence which had been sent by Kermit. $ 1,100 dollars meant for the rent and $100 dollars to Rosemary to be used in sending reports on weekly basis. The $200 dollars for the lab man was not included in this donation.



The flow of patients slightly improved but the expenses are still high. This is as a result of hiring staff on locum; electricity bill went up as well the cost of drugs. This could be improved if drugs were bought in bulk instead of buying from retail pharmaceutical companies. The expense on hiring staff will go down since Florence is now back.



Learning Centre

The children are still on recess until 7th of September, but there was one boy by name Samuel Ouma who accompanied the guardian’s body which was transported to their rural home on Thursday the 2nd. Hope Samuel will be able to come back on time when the schools open.



Community Outreach

This group continues to attend their Thursday meetings, although the number has reduced since food distribution was discontinued. During the week we had two very sick clients whom we gave transport to Mbagathi.
