The hospices in Kenya send us ideas and projects for which they need money. Past examples are:
- Training doctors attached to the hospices.
- Helping to buy vehicles so that home visits can be made to patients. Vehicles have to be rugged 4wd to cope with bad roads.
- Financing Diploma courses in palliative care for nurses.
- Buying essential medicines.
- Start-up funding for new hospices.
- Building refurbishment.
- Office equipment.
- Subsidising nurses' and other medical staff salaries.
We try not to be involved with day to day running costs which we thnk should be funded locally. Both the hospices and HCK expect good accountability for funds provided. All the hospices send us audited annual accounts as a pre-condition of HCK making funds available.
For more information and reports from Kenya have a look at our website and recent newsletters.
HCK's trustees, most of whom have lived or worked in Kenya, visit our friends in Kenya regularly, at their own expense, for liaison meetings with the hospices.
