PROJECT DETAILS Ndubusat Hospital Project The Bethel Medical Centre was funded by FOL Ireland, and was officially opened on November 12th, 2004. The plan for 2005 is to build a maternity hospital in Ndubusat, Kebeneti. This hospital will have 3 wards, and some staff quarters. The hospital has the support of the local community and the Ministry of Health. Work will be completed by a team of Irish and Kenyan workers in June 2005.

About 5 years ago, the parents of the pupils in the schooll began fundraising to replace the school. They now have built 8 classrooms, and roofed them, but there is no funds for windows, doors, desks, floors, plastering etc. The FOL Ireland project team will complete this school in 2005.

Water is available in a nearby forest which is about 5km from the village. A FOL Ireland planning team visited NDubusat in November, 2004 and walked with the locals to the source. They met the water representatives from the government, local policiticans and the local MP to discuss the water project- the aim of FOL is to put water into the village for everyone. This will be a free flow gravity system. This will also be completed as part of the project in 2005. Click here for photos of the water project. AIDS/HIV Peer Education project In 2002 a team from Ireland organised and ran a peer education course for the women in Lelsothet village, Londiani. Since then the women have travelled on foot to nearby villages and taught other groups about HIV/AIDS. Next year a further course will be given to these women, and some representatives of this group will then travel to Ndubusat to begin a peer education project with the women there. FOL Ireland will also run a HIV/AIDS education course for school children in Ndubusat and the surrounding villages. The men in Lelsothet have also requested education so this course will be run by representatives of FOL Ireland and the local community. Mobile Clinics and education for everyone. As
part of the "outreach" project members fo the FOL Ireland
team will travel to Ndubasat and surrounding villages to provide
medical assistance and education on nutrition, immunisations, malaria
etc. This project will be supported by the staff in the Bethel Medical
Centre. Lelsothet Water Project Members of the FOL service team, along with members of the local community in Lelsothet will put 12 water tanks into the village for the whole commmunity. They will be used to collect rain water, and supply water to the homes in the dry season. This was decided after much discussion with the women in the village.
