In March, we teed off with a big dream - to raise $25,000 to support healthcare initiatives in Kenya. Thanks to your incredible generosity and community spirit, our inaugural Charity Golf Day didn’t just reach that target - it soared past it, raising a phenomenal $27,922.13!

We’re so proud to share the tangible, life-changing impact your support has had at Kapkures Health Centre and Rhonda Maternity Clinic - two essential facilities providing vital care to mothers, babies, and vulnerable families.

Transforming Care at Kapkures Health Centre

Located in a rural area with limited access to medical support, Kapkures Health Centre has long faced challenges in providing safe and reliable care for expecting mothers and newborns. With the funds raised, we’ve been able to deliver a suite of critical medical equipment that will directly improve the health outcomes for hundreds of women and infants.

Here’s what your generosity helped provide:

  • 1 modern delivery bed

  • 5 oxygen flowmeters

  • 1 baby warmer

  • 2 adult height and weight scales

  • 4 Omron blood pressure machines

  • 2 treatment trolleys

  • 10 space heaters

  • 10 major delivery sets

  • 2 wheelchairs

  • 2 paediatric weighing scales

  • 30 plastic outpatient chairs

  • 20 pairs of bed sheets

  • 200m of green medical towel

  • 20 cellular blankets

  • 20 counterpanes

  • 3 examination couches

  • 9 pedal bins (black, red, yellow)

This equipment will help ensure safer deliveries, better monitoring of patients, and a more welcoming environment for those in need of care. You’ve helped turn a once under-resourced facility into a space of hope and healing.

Strengthening Support at Rhonda Maternity Clinic

Your impact didn’t stop there.

With your continued support, we were also able to assist Rhonda Maternity Clinic, another vital community facility that’s working tirelessly to serve mothers and babies in need. With your help, the clinic has received:

  • 3 consultation tables

  • 6 consultation chairs

  • 4 diagnostic kits

  • 4 BP machines

  • 3 procedure trolleys

  • 10 pedal bins

These resources have already begun enhancing daily operations, improving patient care and clinic efficiency.

Creating Safe Spaces for Vulnerable Teen Mums

Rhonda Maternity Clinic faces a deeply concerning challenge - an alarming rate of teenage pregnancies, coupled with a reluctance among young girls to seek the medical care they need. Fear, stigma, and a lack of youth-friendly spaces often keep them away from clinics altogether.

In response, we’ve taken an innovative approach. To make the clinic a safe, welcoming environment for pregnant teens, we’ve supported a recreational space with a pool table and darts board. It might seem simple, but this space is designed to break down barriers, build trust, and open the door for young women to engage with healthcare professionals in a relaxed, respectful environment.

It’s more than a clinic - it’s becoming a place of connection, empowerment, and community.

Thank You for Taking the First Swing

We couldn’t have done any of this without you - our sponsors, donors, golfers, and friends. Every swing, every donation, every shared story has made a difference.

Together, we are creating a world where no woman has to give birth without proper care, where no child misses a chance at a healthy start, and where every teen mum knows she has somewhere to turn.
