Project Report | Oct 16, 2020
DCC Kenya update October 2020

DCC staff continue to visit children in the programme at their homes and provide Covid protective equipment and food stuffs to their families. The situation with Coronavirus in Kenya is now improving and the government is starting to lift restrictions.

We have resumed mobile clinics in 4 centres where we provide services to those who are not able to reach the main centre in Maua. Here we have witnessed very vulnerable children who are in dire need of help. However, we are unable to provide more families with food as we don’t have sufficient funds and those, we are already providing for are still dependent on us.

The government announced partial reopening of schools starting on the 12th October 2020 but the fate of Special schools where the children we support normally attend is still unknown.

We have continued to provide support in the form of forums where health officials and parents get to interact, and parents can ask pertinent questions on disability and about their children.

Thank you for supporting this project.
