Kenya Aid update: toilets and trenches

With Kenya in the midst of ethnic turmoil, we're always happy to hear updates from our in country partner and program co-ordinator, Mr Onesmus Mmasi.

Some Kenya Aid members will remember Onesmus from his recent trip to Australia; I'm sure all will be pleased to know he and his family are safe, and building is continuing in Shikunga for the new clinic.

The Kenya Aid Team were lucky enough to see the land that was purchased late 2007 for the proposed clinic and we were thrilled at the quality and location of the site.

Having commissioned a local contractor (Christopher) in December, we were happy to see the building begin with the symbolic planting of trees ensuring the growth of the clinic for years to come.

Our latest update included photos from Onesmus of trenches and toilets being dug, and construction is continuing despite political unrest, with ongoing support from the community.

We'd like to thank our members and donors for their ongoing support of this project - it's truly a dream come true for the community of Shikunga and the Kenya Aid Team!
