2024 Clinic Statistics
In 2024 the Virginia Wright Health Clinic cared for 2,383 patients, 1,941 adults and 412 children. More than 50% of the patients are treated for typhoid, pneumonia, and urinary tract infections.
However, the need remains great. We did not have an in-person fundraiser this year, therefore, we are reaching out to you, our valued supporters, to ask for your continued generosity. Your support can help ensure that we continue to provide essential services, purchase medical supplies, maintain our clinic facilities, and support our dedicated staff, who work tirelessly to improve the health and well-being of the communities we serve.
Please consider making a donation to VWHC
Whether you are able to contribute $50, $100, or a larger gift, every dollar helps. Together, we can continue to break down the barriers to readily accessible healthcare for this medically underserved community in rural Kenya.
“The Virginia Wright health clinic staff Kapkemich-Kenya, would like to thank all our donors who have continuously supported us to ensure that we have always provided our community and the surrounding area with better health care services. The funds that you have always donated have been supporting our salaries. As you all know the clinic is located in the rural part of Kenya which is an underserved area and many people are very poor which makes it hard for many to pay for their medical bills. It is through your generous support that we have been able to provide the care they need.”
Once again thank you so much for your donation. It’s truly appreciated. Happy Spring!
