Medical work

The focus of our work is on the education of children and young people. Nevertheless, there is a great need for medical care in the steppe due to the long distance to the public healthcare system. We therefore work closely with the state health centre in Malambo and provide vehicles and drivers for the monthly clinic visits and provide financial support for the treatment of sick people and rehabilitation after major medical interventions. 

There are also people with physical disabilities among the Maasai. These can often be helped with little effort. Burns are a common injury, especially for small children, which they can suffer when sleeping by the open fire in the huts.

Our team makes contact with such children or adults. These people are offered treatment in a rehabilitation centre, where they receive the appropriate treatment and, if necessary, learn how to use wheelchairs or crutches.
