HEALTH CENTRE SERVICES KARIAKOMO PARISH KENYA

$100.00 No GST

Kariakomo Parish Dispensary began operating in 1973 under the auspices of the local parish, thanks to funds raised by the parish, it grew to have more facilities and eventually upgraded to a Health Centre. Over the years the facilities deteriorated and due to financial challenges and shortages of staff, the services were not adequate and the Centre was closed. There is still a great need for these health services in the area. As the RNDM Sisters have a community in Kariakomo they were invited to take responsibility for this Health Centre. Now the Centre attracts many patients due to the presence of the sisters, however it requires much work.

We seek your support in renovating the Centre and for purchasing equipment, medicines and afford staff salaries.

Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions Australia thank you for visiting our online store. All money collected from purchases go directly to our missions. Your contribution means a lot and will be put to good use.
