RAY OF HOPE CLINIC & COMMUNITY CENTRE - AUGUST WEEK 2 REPORT

THE CLINIC

The week progressed on well, though slow but much better than last week. We had 20 outpatients and 10 maternities. 

The difficulty times are still on as the Kenya Shilling is still weak. If the situation doesn’t change, according to the government, most of the prizes of things like electricity will continue to go up.

Currently a packet of 2 kg maize flour is costing USD 1.61 from 0.75, sugar 1.56 from 0.96, meat 3.12 per kilogram from 2.68, electricity bill 86.07 from 43.03, a box of gloves used to cost 2.15 but now 3.22. This is just to mention a few among many, which have made the cost of living to become very unbearable.

We managed to pay all the staffs by 8^th August a total of USD 1398.67. Some staffs did not take it lightly as already they were on a go-slow. We can’t blame them as some have families to take care and also rent, which have deadlines.

We pray that the situation will change and improve the clinic performance.
