Health Programme

(i) Medical
The one and only nearest medical clinic in Nyatike is Macalder health centre which is a Government health facility. It is ill equipped and so complications arising from maternal delivery and acute attacks of tropical diseases often end fatal due to the poor status of the roads which are not paved making transportation to other hospitals outside Nyatike very difficult.

It is our long term project to construct and equip a health clinic that will not only serve the orphans and widows but also the surrounding community, . We hope this will be the greatest blessing in the lives of these Kenyans.

We also invite volunteer medical experts from all walks of life to participate in our open day medical camps that offers free medical care to the orphans and the poor community members every year. You can support us in terms of offering medical equipment, drugs and voluntary service both psychosocial support in order to make this mission a success. “It’s a wonderful experience of sharing”

(ii) Clean water
Every day, a Kenyan child in remote area of Kituka suffers illnesses such as typhoid, dysentery and cholera. It doesn't have to be so, because these diseases are preventable.

It is the bad brown water which is often used in this locality and hence the root cause of several health problems such as dysentery, typhoid, cholera and other water-borne diseases.

We do not want to drink the brown water and assured these underprivileged too do not . KICODEP is working on a plan to sink more boreholes for the orphanage and the community.

You can help provide clean water for drinking in Nyatike and restore sanitation in Schools and the wider community.

(iii) HIV/AIDS Education and eradication

The fight against HIV/AIDS poses enormous challenges worldwide, generating fears that success may be too difficult or even impossible to attain. But Kenya is among other African nations that have demonstrated that an early, consistent and multi-sectoral control strategy can reduce both the prevalence and the incidence of HIV infection.

This has been possible because of several reasons, among them, expanded partnerships, increased institutional capacity for care and research,public health education for behavior change, strengthened sexually transmitted disease (STD) management, improved blood transfusion services, care and support services for persons with HIV/AIDS, and a surveillance system to monitor the epidemic.

Here at KICODEP have joined in the fight against this pandemic by offering Public Health Education for behavior change, care and support services for persons with HIV/AIDS. We welcome all like minded individuals and organizations to partner with us to achieve our goal of a world free from the threat posed by HIV/AIDS and other STD's
