Our Grant Giving Committee is pleased to be have been able to support an application from the Kanyama Self-help Clinic in Lusaka, Zambia, (about 250m from the school where we also are very active) for protective and safety equipment for the team of volunteers who help in this compound clinic.  The rain season makes life even more difficult than it is ordinarily. Vulnerable people cannot get to the clinic and volunteers cannot get around easily. Trudging through water up to a foot deep is commonplace.  

So…. A note of thanks from the deputy manager at the clinic;

Ladies and gentlemen.

On behalf of the management, staff and volunteers of the Kanyama Self-help Clinic, I’d like to take this opportunity to express our sincere and heartfelt gratitude for the kind gesture that you have made which comes at a critical time.

By providing safety equipment and protective clothing, this allows the volunteers to continue their work in the community under very challenging conditions.

The equipment you have supplied as with not only protects the volunteers from harsh weather conditions but also greatly enhances their safety and comfort.

We truly appreciate your organisation and its commitment for supporting our volunteers in this way.

Your generosity demonstrates a strong spirit of partnership and our volunteers are truly grateful.

For the donors who provided the support we thank you for standing with us and for investing in the people that make this work possible.

We are deeply grateful to you for your support and we hope that our partnership will continue to grow from strength to strength.

We thank you so much.  

Christine Jere, Deputy Centre Manager, Kanyama Self Help Clinic, Kanyama, Lusaka, Zambia.
