In the financial year ending 31st December 2024 TMC received a total of
£
17,543.86 from Tumaini UK. The construction of accommodation
quarters for future volunteers stalled due to a shortage of funds. The
regular expenditure was incurred towards the salaries of staff - a nurse,
lab tech, caretaker. Our volunteer administrator has continued to offer
sacrificial support to our operations. Whenever possible, we have
continued to model our ministry on generosity .
We reopened the centre from 1stMarch 2024 after an eight-month closure.
During this time, we reflected on the lessons learnt from our operations
earlier on. From this, we saw the need to adjust treatment charges to
adequately meet the cost of operations. An increase in the charges did not
affect the number of clients in any way. Indeed, the numbers have
gradually increased.
We hosted two medical camps, one in July and another in December with
each attracting at least 150 patients. As this was done in consultation with
the MOH of the sub-county hospital, we were able to easily refer patients
for further.
In June, we hosted a one day seminar for 35 local women in conjunction
with the ministries of gender and agriculture called ‘Kilimo kisasa’ (modern
agriculture). Those attending were appreciative of the services offered by
Tumaini.
In November in conjunction with Action Aid and a local CBO ‘Centre of
Hope’ we hosted a one day seminar for 80 children aged 10-15. The
topics discussed included self-awareness, menstrual health and children’s
right.
We continue to reach out to the community, needy families in the spirit of
Tumaini to develop TMC to a community hub offering health, social and
pastoral services. The most common ailments we continue to treat are
respiratory, gastrointestinal infections, minor injuries and also
management of chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension and
musculoskeletal conditions.||
