The Kayole-Soweto project on NABUUR focuses on the sustainable development of the hospital and its health care programs, which includes health education aimed at addressing the root causes of disease and poor health in the community.
Led by project facilitator Jennifer Wells, and supported on-site by Local Community Representative Bramuel Simiyu, the online volunteers of Kayole-Soweto have worked tirelessly towards achieving results for the community hospital - With this work paying off in the form of great news in the past few days:
- A proposal drafted by the online team and submitted to Friends of Kenya was accepted, resulting in the organization providing over $1000 to pay for hospital beds and other supplies.
- A visit and inspection by the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) proved successful and the hospital passed the inspection, resulting in accreditation through NHIF.
- The Insurance Card machine is now installed! As of October 1st, patients carrying the insurance card will be able to receive inpatient care. The hospital will be reimbursed monthly for the medical services, and this will provide revenue that can then be used toward medication replenishment.

A hearty congratulations goes to the entire team for these wonderful achievements!
