Healthcare
With the help of Dr. Amos Otedo, we have already conducted many medical screening events at the former Victory Christian School (VCS) building and elsewhere. The focus is to screen for diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cancers, as well as many communicable diseases like Malaria, Pneumonia, and HIV. IKI most recently conducted a screening event serving over 300 patients including 75 children. Further screenings will be carried out over 16 sites in the communities of the greater Kisumu and Siaya counties.
