Building a Clinic for the Maasai Village of Ilngarooj

This month, we will be honoring our African brothers and sisters in Kenya. Our Church has supported the Maasai through our partner, the Simba Maasai Outreach Organization (SIMOO), for many years. We have provided funding to install solar panels for community wells, food insecurity, and beekeeping, and last year, we raised money to buy 400 goats.

This year, our SIMOO partners have requested $35,000 to construct a community health clinic. This request is exciting for our Church as 23 individuals in our congregation have volunteered to travel to Kenya later this month to help construct the health clinic!

The clinic will be built in Ilngarooj village. It will provide health services for four of the surrounding villages, and the primary focus will be maternal and child health. The villages that the clinic will serve are some of the remotest in the tribal lands, and women and children have very limited access to health services. The clinic will provide vaccinations, prenatal care, delivery services, infant and pediatric care, and family planning support. In addition, infectious disease outbreaks will be managed.

We ask that you support our Maasai partners in building this life-saving health clinic this year. ASHE OLENG! (Thank You!) You can donate using the button below and select “Maasai Donation” as your designation.
