WEEKLY REPORT AS AT 13th TO 23rd JANUARY 2011

THE CLINIC

The patients increased this week, to 30 maternities 10 and while those starting Antenatal profiles were 4 more than the previous week.

On 20^th The Kenya Government supplied us with T.B drugs  - so from now hence forth, patients with T.B can access drugs from our centre.  We shall be charging 100/- for every visit made.  This is indeed another big boost and we are very excited about it, as it will make people know about other services that we offer. 

The lab is doing very well as sometimes other clinics refer their patients for testing.  I must say it is the one doing well followed by maternity. Outpatients still remain problematic as patients can pay for the lab but when it comes to the drugs they are unable to pay.

 KOP

Among the patients there was one girl from KOP. Whenever these children come we treat them and later Monique pays us through the bank.  Sometimes 1,000 or less depending on how many children have fallen sick.  During the week she instructed Marceline to pay us USD 123.46 through our bank, which will enable us to deduct, every time there is a KOP sick child.  This we found to be convenient, as it will reduce bank charges from both parties.

World Food Programme

The meetings were postponed again as the officer in-charge went on leave until end of the month. So everything has been put on hold until she comes back.

INCOME:

Outpatients managed to raise USD 561.49 while maternity USD 377.78

EXPENSES:

Expenses totaled USD 452.28. You will find there is a refund to Rosemary for USD 76.27. she paid for KOP at the customs for their goods that they had sent through Fed ex. So KOP refunded through our bank account and she had to be from clinic daily income. This you will verify the details from pages 3 and 4.

LEARNING CENTRE

1     We discussed briefly on the email regarding a meeting with the parents, which had been held regarding cost sharing that Dr. Gipson had reacted on the minutes sent to her by Barasa.  We agreed that Barasa should do a follow-up and rectify the situation.

2     Kileleshwa students were bought uniforms and now everything is running well.

3     Barasa, Reuben and Gideon were busy fixing the lights, which were not working

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

They met as usual and the number has increased to 40.  We decided to be serving them with porridge during their meetings.

WEEKLY REPORT AS AT 10th TO 16th JANUARY 2011

THE CLINIC

The clinic this week was quiet with few patients.  Most of them were early pregnant mothers – miscarrying.  There was a case of a boy circumcised traditionally and had to be done again as it was badly done.

Two girls, one from KOP and Leaning Centre had malaria and were treated.

We received 26 outpatients and 2 maternity deliveries.  The situation is not improving due to Christmas festivals.  It will continue this way until end of January.

Staff:

We have one new male nurse by the name Justin Mwangangi, who will replace those who have been coming on locums and were not very reliable, sometimes they could decide to come to work or not.

INCOME:

Outpatients only managed to raise USD 527.08 while maternity only USD 62.92 better than last week, though below the expected target.

EXPENSES:

Expenses totaled USD 469.52.  This you will verify the details from pages 3 and 4.

World Food Programme

 Two meetings are expected next week.  Florence, Hendricka, Angeline and Vincent will attend to know the method in which the food will be distributed.

Unfortunately our Learning Centre children will not benefit since the programme is only targeting children below 5 years and who are malnourished plus pregnant mothers. 

LEARNING CENTRE

The children are doing fine despite of one girl who had malaria and was treated.

There were some two visitors – a Canadian with his girl friend from Ruanda, dropped by and promised to sponsor some of the children.

KILELESHWA

Our children might be sent away from school if they don’t appear in full uniform this Monday. Most of them had torn or worn out uniforms and the Headmistress gave a stern warning to them.

According to Barasa, some of the sponsors had not remitted their funding so it was not possible for each child to get full uniforms.

The children and their parents, Florence, Barasa and the teachers held a meeting on Saturday.  The agenda was to see how the parents could come in and assist where necessary and also Barasa to get in touch with Ray of Hope Foundation before deciding on what move to take.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

The support group managed to open an account with the bank using the money Glide church had donated to them.

WEEKLY REPORT AS AT 3rd to 9th JANUARY 2011

THE CLINIC

The number of patients attended to was 29, 2 antenatal and 6 maternity cases. 

During the week we generated USD 320.23 from out/patients and USD 186.30 from maternity making a total USD 506.53 very much, almost half lower than last week.  Most locals traveled upcountry and spend all the money they had during Christmas festival, and also in January most children go to schools for the first time either Grade 1 or Secondary form 1, so they cannot have money to spend on medication, but cater for school fees.

The total expenses were USD 297.34 mainly locums and paying salaries. 

On 6^th we managed to pay the salaries of the staffs as follows: -

Boice Kitavi                                       -           USD 228.25

Solomon Asindivira                            -           USD 215.91

Selestine Lombisya                            -           USD 185.07

Rhoda Khasandi                                -           USD 80.19

Ken Otsieno                                       -           USD 80.19

Florence and Rosemary will pay themselves as funds come in.

DONATIONS

We received the following from Kermit Washington

$ 1,100 dollars for rent

$    200 dollars for the lab man

$      50 dollars for Rosemary – her weekly reports

$      50 dollars for Everlyn – to assist her on Okoth’s expenses

Also received was USD 86.36 through our bank account sent by Teresa Gipson to assist us offset the utility expenses for the Learning Centre.

World Food Programme

Florence attended their seminar on 4^th and 5^th and Hendricka, Angelina and Vincent attended on 6^th and 7^th at Pan Africa Hotel.

Since it is a Government project, they want to impose their rules so that the Government provides all Community Health Workers (CHW) when they start supplying food.  This we found was not acceptable, so we are still discussing. 

 

LEARNING CENTRE

On 4^th 21 children reported, but were send back home due to lack of food.  Evelyn said that she had not received food money from Marceline (Bware). 

The teachers took the weights of the children and found to be better than last term.

 

Barasa brought 7 bags of maize and 3 bags of beans.  This will last a whole term.  He also purchased books, pens, ink, rulers, covers and uniforms.

I handed USD 143.12 to Teacher Evelyn towards Ken Chemiati – Kileleshwa being sponsored by Catherine.

 

Benard Okoth will continue staying with Evelyn.

There is still a problem that needs to be addressed about the children at the Learning Centre who become homeless.  For example – Okoth’s case has not been resolved yet. 

 

There is another child whom Agneta our cook has been housing.  His name is Dickson Muruli – Kileleshwa in grade 8.  During the time when Feed the Children used to give us food, Agneta used to be given a small ratio to subsidize her budget, but since the programme was discontinued, she just struggles with him.  It is now running to 3 years.

 

Another new development is Odinga also at Kileleshwa, he has been staying with a friend’s late mother and now it seems she is surrendering him back to the Learning Centre.  According to the teacher and social worker Oding’a rural home cannot be located, since there are no close relatives.  One of the teacher’s (Alfred) wants to house Oding’a for a few days before an alternative is found.

The teachers and cook are taking up these responsibilities because they are close to them and whenever there is a problem, the children only look up to them for help.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

They received their Registration Certificate from the Ministry of Culture and Social Services and will open a bank account next Tuesday the 11^th with the Co-operative Bank of Kenya and deposit USD 194.94.  They spent USD 27.14 for registration and typing minutes.
