Medic Outpost Africa

1. We are making significant progress in 2023 on developing community-based healthcare volunteer programs. Medic Outpost started its Kajaido Maasai land project at the end of 2022, and we have now completed the initial training for the Community Health Volunteers (CHV). Training will continue with a total of six-monthly trainings in the Kajaido service area. I am hoping to raise funds to finish this training, which will include first aid kits and a complete diagnostic program.

   Kenya The Kenya projects will be a focus for Medic Outpost for the rest of the year. Our goal is to finish our CHV training by the end of the year and test this concept. If we get positive results, we would like to use this model in other places. We have treated over 240 Maasai people in our medical camps, and the 10 CHVs will be responsible for the village follow-ups. They will be trained and provided with equipment, and the rural clinic will supervise their work. The Africa Team has also treated more than 16,000 children for intestinal worms in Nairobi.

Medic Outpost will be taking a group of volunteers to Kenya from November 5th to 15th, 2023. Currently, we have 5 nurses committed and are hoping to find 3 more to go with us. The cost is $3800.00 USD, all-inclusive except for airfare. There will be 4 days of hands-on work in the Maasai land and activities in Nairobi. We have planned a two-day safari in the Maasai Mara after the medical camps. Please spread the word on this. 8 would be a good group for our first attempt at this.
