Rhonda Maternity Clinic
After researching about Kenya's public health systems for the past three years, Gennarosity Abroad has partnered with an existing maternity clinic in Rhonda, in the community outskirts of Nakuru city - Kenya's fourth-largest city. Rhonda is located in a slum area and has high infant and maternal mortality rates.
The maternity clinic is a public health facility run by the Ministry of Health, Nakuru that suffers what a lot of public facilities struggle with, which is a lack of funding and resources. As this facility is in dire need of a lot of essential, lifesaving resources, Gennarosity Abroad will be assisting the Ministry of Health in supporting this clinic by paying for staff training, purchasing medical equipment and helping to acquire any necessities.
