"There is so much noise in our lives that we need to understand what’s getting in the way and how to experience the pleasure of unlimited power in our lives"
Mike Meegan
"This coding of our software exists on the motherboard of all our waking thoughts. It is also the background to all our dreams, fantasies and imaginings. More importantly the map of the world as it exists in our head is constantly spinning away. It is the source of all our fears, self doubt and anxiety. The map we are using to walk around with every minute of the day contains in it the defaults that cause all of our unhappiness." Michael Meegan
" If we have developed a learned, habitual behaviour, it is because we have continually referred to the same set of reactions and responses to outside conditions. Many people in relationships tend to make the same mistakes for the same reason. People who become used to arguing and shouting have falling into rigid response mechanisms that are predictable because they exist within our map; “This is how I deal with criticism or a comment about me”, or “You’re making me angry and you’re not listening so I’m going to yell at you”. " Mike Meegan
" Because the map exists at a deeply subconscious level we often use a language that unconsciously says this cannot change because I am the map. Because we are not aware, we associate the thoughts that are occurring in our heads as indivisible from ourselves. If we think that we are the map of interpreting everything, then we begin using the language “I cannot change, this is who I am", “I always respond this way”, “I grew up this way”, “It’s part of my character”. Mike Meegan
"The more we become conscious of how we use pre-grasped ideas of interaction, pre-determined sets of responses and habitual ways of non-constructive thinking, the more we can improve and change."
Michael Meegan
"We begin to cement the way in which we think into our persona in the same way that biological traits are locked into our DNA genetic makeup. However, all of these ways in which we deal with external experience are not fixed - they are learned. The purpose of this book is to show that all of us have the power to free ourselves from the “map trap”. We have the capacity not to be prisoners of the past and to be the map makers of our own future. Often the deeply embedded software that exists on the motherboard of our thought process gets in the way of personal growth and happiness"
Mike Meegan
" Like all maps, our map of the world gets outdated, the reason we have a matrix is to help us deal with the bloodiness of human experience. Our intention is to have an understanding of experience that deals with the world outside in a way that will help us. Much of the time however our maps guide us into the wrong places. The more we become conscious of how we use pre-grasped ideas of interaction, pre-determined sets of responses and habitual ways of non-constructive thinking, the more we can improve and change. These sets of references and coordinates determine all our emotional triggering.
They preset how we make judgements and how we take meaning from the different things that happen around us. This book is about seeing the parts of the map that lie in the recesses of our mind and learning to look at them in a different way." The Tribe of One, Mike Meegan, eye books
" Since you woke up this morning you have had hundreds of thoughts, you have drawn from your memory banks, you have formed ideas, and listened to conversations. In the process of those conversations you have translated words that were spoken into meanings that you have heard. You have heard these words carried through sound waves translated into electronic impulses in your head. These have been carried by chemical electrical impulse into different parts of your brain. By the time they reach your internal translation, you have brought to each of those words your own use of language. The way in which you take meaning, depends on your expanse of knowledge, background, context and recollection. It depends on your cognition, wisdom and energy. In other words it depends on your map"

making a difference where it matters
"The most important thing each of us can do is to touch the
life of another person. There is no greater task for each of us than
to be the difference needed in the lives of the poor. Rather than talk about it we need to atually do it. We can change the lfe of the person in front of us now. We can feed the hungry, build a better World.... or we can spend our energy complaining. Each of us can make our mark, make our dfference"

ICROSS Mother and Child health and infant care programmeas 2011
ICROSS and women’s health programmes , creating long term change 2011
2010 marks a significant milestone as we reach 30 years of public health programmes. When Dr Joe Barnes and I began our work, we never realised that it would become such a significant contribution in reducing poverty and disease. In this annual review, we will look back on some of the highlights over the last thirty years. Before looking at the new challenges, as we build the organization over the next decade. Together with our friends and partners, we have managed to extend our long term public health programmes despite extraordinary challenges and demand on our limited resources thanks to the dedication of hundreds of volunteers.
We have been able to achieve improved health services and significant reductions in water borne diseases. The great strength of ICROSS has always been a unique combination of long term commitment and evidence based research. Because we built all of our work through our local belief systems and traditions, this year has shown how effective the ICROSS model can be. This report marks a further milestone following the restructuring of the charity like all dynamic organizations we are constantly incorporating new ideas and improved practices. This report outlines a series of new steps we have taken to prepare ICROSS for the years ahead. On behalf of Dr Evan Sequiera and our board of directors, as well as our programmes and management teams, I thank you for sharing our work in this annual report.
Over 35% of children in ICROSS projects are underweight or stunted. Kenya has a population of 36.b million. Its life expectancy is 35 and falling. The average age of Kenyans is 17 years old and the chances of dying before the age of 30 are ten times higher than living in Europe. ICROSS remains committed from the last 30 years to the improvement of health in vulnerable communities and tribal groups. ICROSS has worked over the decades with many endangered tribes suffering from high infant mortality and maternal deaths. Infant mortality in Kenya in 2009 was 55 per 1000 compared with 4.6 per 1000 in the UK. With infant disease 200 times higher than in Western Europe, ICROSS is dedicated to reducing this suffering. In Finland, infant mortality rate is 3.47 per 1000, France, 3.3 per 1000. Kenya ranks 181st in the world with one of the highest death rates in East Africa.
Together with a strong policy of holistic obstetrics and gynaecology, ICROSS is building sustainable women’s health. For 15 years
Dr Michael Meegan, Founder
SAFE MOTHERHOOD
A critical part of improving health care is the priorities for safe motherhood. As part f ICROSS’ campaign for advocating for mothers rights, we focus on empowering mothers and involving them in decision making. As part of the millennium goals, we are committed to reducing maternal deaths. Together with our partners, we understand that basic health care alone is not sufficient to improve safe motherhood. Maasai mothers often have their first child at the age of 17yrs. ICROSS seeks to delay marriage and first birth. This campaign has been effective and has attributed to more girls staying in school. Through community based education in the local language, we are encouraging families to delay marriages and first birth until girls complete their education.
Risks in pregnancies: there are many life threatening complications and risks that occur in pregnancy. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest death rate in the world. It is essential that all pregnant women have access to a qualified midwife. They require guidance and support during their pregnancy and after child birth.
Improved delivery: ICROSS is working to establish the most critical intervention of safe motherhood. This is to ensure skilled delivery at birth. ICROSS remains committed to building maternity units in all its clinics Reproductive health services: developed through local culture and language, we continue to provide high quality reproductive health services. These interventions are culturally sensitive and help individuals and communities be empowered by making their own choices. Since Sharon Wilkinson introduced reproductive health education into ICROSS health programmes in 1993, we have continued to provide education and information in homes, villages and clinics.
Prevention of unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortion: over 75 million unwanted pregnancies occur every year; mostly in the poor world. Without effective family planning, unsafe abortions can kill and cause permanent harm. By ensuring effective family planning, contraceptive advice and trained counselling, we can greatly reduce risk.
Safe Motherhood Research: for 30 years, ICROSS has studied the impact of its safe motherhood programme. The longest and most significant of these studies took 20 years to complete. This study examined the reduction of no natal tetanus in new born children.
Partnerships in Safe Motherhood: in 2010, ICROSS extended its network of community based organisations, women’s groups and self help societies. Together with a growing number of partners including the ministry of health, we have continued to strengthen our capacity to provide safe motherhood.
CHILD SURVIVAL
Every day, over 30,000 children under 5years die from preventable causes. The vast majority of these deaths cost very little to prevent or treat. With over 30% of Maasai children endemically malnourished, it weakens their ability to fight illness. More than a third of all child deaths are related to malnutrition in the poor world.
The principle causes of infant deaths are neo0natel (37%), pneumonia (19%), diarrhoea (17%), and Malaria (8%). These four causes account for the great majority of preventable deaths. Our child survival programme is based upon effective immunisation, childhood nutrition and essential supplementation. The prevention diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases diarrhoea and malaria.
HYGIENE AND SANITATION
Over half of the poor world (OVER 2.5 BILLION PEOPLE) lack sanitation facilities. Over 1.6 billion do not have safe water to drink. This lack of hygiene and sanitation worsens poverty killing thousands of children every day. In rural schools, millions of girls are denied education because of the absence of private sanitation facilities. The burden of poverty is greatly increased by the lack of access to basic toilets and simple hygiene. ICROSS promotes and supports hand washing, personal cleanliness, health promotion and education.
Among these interventions is child to child, where elder children teach the younger children how to stay safe through washing. ICROSS continues to develop and build pit latrines which are ventilated and clean. It continues to provide sanitary towels to girls and improve access to water. In 2010, we extended our hygiene and sanitation education to more rural schools serving rural communities. With the help of friends and supporters, we have been able to make new commitments to build more latrines for primary schools in 2011
HIV/AIDS AND TUBERCULOSIS
Over 70% of the AIDS victims live in Africa. Africa has less than 6% of the worlds AIDS budget. The leading cause of death in adults in Africa is HIV related followed by Malaria. Both are preventable. In 2010, 2 million Africans became infected with HIV.
According to UNAIDS, 14.8 million children have lost one or both parents because of AIDS. Life expectancy had fallen by over 20 years across the continent. Kenya has one of the highest infection rates in the world; with over 1.5 million people infected (population 34.6 million).
1.2 million Children in Kenya, were orphaned by AIDS and in 2009, 80,000 people died in Kenya from AIDS related disease. HIV prevalence has reduces because of nationwide education and awareness campaigns. Only one in three patients is receiving effective treatment.
The national prevalence has fallen from 13.4 % in 2000 to 6.7% in 2008. ICROSS has been directly involved in a wide range of HIV programmes since 1992. Following the strategic plan 1995 to 2005, ICROSS implemented wide ranging prevention programmes. With AIDS education and family planning strategies, ICROSS extended its work into central and western Kenya. Following long term home care for terminal patients, ICROSS extended its support programmes tripling the number of patients reached between 1996 and 2002.
The comprehensive strategy included:
• increasing third level care facilities in three districts
• creation of comprehensive AIDS resource centres at district level
• Provision of support to over 400 community groups.
• Pioneering in Kenya, home based health care at grass roots level
• Community owned support programmes for AIDS orphans and vulnerable children
• Creation of networks to support carers • Locally developed ways of identifying
children most in need
• Emergency grant program for AIDS orphans
• Anti-retroviral drugs for AIDS orphans infected with HIV
Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection of the lung which is increasingly serious involving easily identifiable symptoms. Tuberculosis has risen sharply with 15 million sufferers at any one time in 2010. TB kills more than 1.6 million people a year (4,400 people every day, 1 person every 20 seconds). 98% of TB deaths occur in poor countries; the vast majority in Africa. Kenya has one of the highest numbers of TB victims in the world with over a third of a million. 28% of adult Tb patients also have HIV.
Since 2002, ICROSS has a specific TB support intervention programme. This programme is primarily focused in three districts; Bondo, Kisii and Nakuru and adopts the Directly Observed Therapy (D.O.T.) as part of the WHO strategy.
MALARIA
Over half of the world’s population is at risk because of Malaria. There are a million deaths caused by malaria every year but mostly in Africa. 20% of all childhood deaths in Africa are caused by Malaria. The average Kenyan child has four episodes of malaria a year. Every 30 seconds, a child dies from malaria. Africa accounts for 91% of deaths. 85% of deaths are in children under 5years old. Kenya is in the top five countries on the planet affected by Malaria; 11.34 million cases a year. Six of the millennium development goals depend on fighting malaria. Disease and death from malaria is preventable and curable.
The groups most vulnerable to malaria are young children, pregnant women, patients with HIV/AIDS. ICROSS maintains a long term strategy of research, public health, prevention, treatment and clinical referral in fighting malaria.
In 2011, we have extended our mosquito net programme over 3,500 nets. Our target in 2011 is to distribute a further 10,000 nets in our project areas. Mosquito eradication and breeding site control increased in 2010. Public health awareness programmes to reduce new cases of malaria increased in all programme areas in 2010.
With the partnership of the ministry of health, intervention programmes will increase throughout the 18 months.
PUBLIC HEALTH RESEARCH
Building on the effective research of solar disinfection, we have designed new and improved water projects in urban areas based upon the findings of our research team in Nakuru. Together with the Royal College of Surgeons and our network of collaborators, we have been sharing the results of the SODIS studies internationally. ICROSS Was directly involved in bringing SODIS to Cambodia through Care Cambodia.
An important part of our public health research is to share findings and results with other organisations around the world. The purpose of this research is for us to find out the best possible way of making an impact. As a dynamic learning organisation, we are constantly examining what we are doing and finding ways of doing it better.
The research team at ICROSS will be expanding in 2011 as we take on new challenges exploring new areas of public health and disease control. The research team is lead by Dr Michael Meegan with

ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE DEVELOPING ICROSS
Over 30 years ICROSS has learned to be a dynamic listening and learning engine of change. The many publications, studies and works created from our programmes have taught us four things
1. Everythingisindynamicevolution
2. All that we do needs to be a wake to the past, receptive to the present and embracing of the future
3. Humans generally are poor at learning from their experiences in order to inform future choices based on knowledge.
4. The critical contribution of ICROSS lies in the focus and clarity of its public health research
We will continue to build ICROSS international within the context of evidence based planning, long term disease control and the prevention of infectious morbidity in Africa. In 2011, we are committed to the policy of inclusion, local ownership and cultural transparency.
We remain focused on basic primary health care, gradual reduction of poverty and 20 year programmes of community based health. No short term programme has ever demonstrated a long term effect; we continue to advocate for long term strategies in the reduction of starvation and suffering.
PARTNERSHIPS
2010 saw a series of new partnerships develop with ICROSS and another 35 community based organisations collaborated with our field programmes sharing common goals to reduce poverty and suffering. Building on a long history of community ownership and inclusive planning, ICROSS teams established new and exciting links, bringing in radically new perspectives to local development. All planning is done in the local language in keeping with the ICROSS principles.
b. GOVERNANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
ICROSS is committed to meeting the higher standards of best practice. As part of this commitment, our corporate governance policies have adapted and adopted the British Charity commission protocol requirements, stipulations, recommendations and guidelines regarding operational practice, codes of conduct and evaluation. As part of this international gold standard, ICROSS Kenya requires and demands of all of its partners a minimum of the adherence to the same international stipulations.
Available on our websites, we detail the corporate legislation and constitution that govern the transparency of ICROSS. Passed by Annual General meeting, are requirements that detail provisions and contingencies relating to the management of risk in all situations. T is the policy of ICROSS in Kenya to meet the highest standards of external scrutiny, probity and compliance.

2010 marks a significant milestone as we reach 30 years of public health programmes. When Dr Joe Barnes and I began our work, we never realised that it would become such a significant contribution in reducing poverty and disease. In this annual review, we will look back on some of the highlights over the last thirty years. Before looking at the new challenges, as we build the organization over the next decade. Together with our friends and partners, we have managed to extend our long term public health programmes despite extraordinary challenges and demand on our limited resources thanks to the dedication of hundreds of volunteers.
We have been able to achieve improved health services and significant reductions in water borne diseases. The great strength of ICROSS has always been a unique combination of long term commitment and evidence based research. Because we built all of our work through our local belief systems and traditions, this year has shown how effective the ICROSS model can be. This report marks a further milestone following the restructuring of the charity like all dynamic organizations we are constantly incorporating new ideas and improved practices. This report outlines a series of new steps we have taken to prepare ICROSS for the years ahead. On behalf of Dr Evan Sequiera and our board of directors, as well as our programmes and management teams, I thank you for sharing our work in this annual report.
Over 35% of children in ICROSS projects are underweight or stunted. Kenya has a population of 36.b million. Its life expectancy is 35 and falling. The average age of Kenyans is 17 years old and the chances of dying before the age of 30 are ten times higher than living in Europe. ICROSS remains committed from the last 30 years to the improvement of health in vulnerable communities and tribal groups. ICROSS has worked over the decades with many endangered tribes suffering from high infant mortality and maternal deaths. Infant mortality in Kenya in 2009 was 55 per 1000 compared with 4.6 per 1000 in the UK. With infant disease 200 times higher than in Western Europe, ICROSS is dedicated to reducing this suffering. In Finland, infant mortality rate is 3.47 per 1000, France, 3.3 per 1000. Kenya ranks 181st in the world with one of the highest death rates in East Africa.
Together with a strong policy of holistic obstetrics and gynaecology, ICROSS is building sustainable women’s health. For 15 years
Dr Michael Meegan, Founder
SAFE MOTHERHOOD
A critical part of improving health care is the priorities for safe motherhood. As part f ICROSS’ campaign for advocating for mothers rights, we focus on empowering mothers and involving them in decision making. As part of the millennium goals, we are committed to reducing maternal deaths. Together with our partners, we understand that basic health care alone is not sufficient to improve safe motherhood. Maasai mothers often have their first child at the age of 17yrs. ICROSS seeks to delay marriage and first birth. This campaign has been effective and has attributed to more girls staying in school. Through community based education in the local language, we are encouraging families to delay marriages and first birth until girls complete their education.
Risks in pregnancies: there are many life threatening complications and risks that occur in pregnancy. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest death rate in the world. It is essential that all pregnant women have access to a qualified midwife. They require guidance and support during their pregnancy and after child birth.
Improved delivery: ICROSS is working to establish the most critical intervention of safe motherhood. This is to ensure skilled delivery at birth. ICROSS remains committed to building maternity units in all its clinics Reproductive health services: developed through local culture and language, we continue to provide high quality reproductive health services. These interventions are culturally sensitive and help individuals and communities be empowered by making their own choices. Since Sharon Wilkinson introduced reproductive health education into ICROSS health programmes in 1993, we have continued to provide education and information in homes, villages and clinics.
Prevention of unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortion: over 75 million unwanted pregnancies occur every year; mostly in the poor world. Without effective family planning, unsafe abortions can kill and cause permanent harm. By ensuring effective family planning, contraceptive advice and trained counselling, we can greatly reduce risk.
Safe Motherhood Research: for 30 years, ICROSS has studied the impact of its safe motherhood programme. The longest and most significant of these studies took 20 years to complete. This study examined the reduction of no natal tetanus in new born children.
Partnerships in Safe Motherhood: in 2010, ICROSS extended its network of community based organisations, women’s groups and self help societies. Together with a growing number of partners including the ministry of health, we have continued to strengthen our capacity to provide safe motherhood.
CHILD SURVIVAL
Every day, over 30,000 children under 5years die from preventable causes. The vast majority of these deaths cost very little to prevent or treat. With over 30% of Maasai children endemically malnourished, it weakens their ability to fight illness. More than a third of all child deaths are related to malnutrition in the poor world.
The principle causes of infant deaths are neo0natel (37%), pneumonia (19%), diarrhoea (17%), and Malaria (8%). These four causes account for the great majority of preventable deaths. Our child survival programme is based upon effective immunisation, childhood nutrition and essential supplementation. The prevention diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases diarrhoea and malaria.
HYGIENE AND SANITATION
Over half of the poor world (OVER 2.5 BILLION PEOPLE) lack sanitation facilities. Over 1.6 billion do not have safe water to drink. This lack of hygiene and sanitation worsens poverty killing thousands of children every day. In rural schools, millions of girls are denied education because of the absence of private sanitation facilities. The burden of poverty is greatly increased by the lack of access to basic toilets and simple hygiene. ICROSS promotes and supports hand washing, personal cleanliness, health promotion and education.
Among these interventions is child to child, where elder children teach the younger children how to stay safe through washing. ICROSS continues to develop and build pit latrines which are ventilated and clean. It continues to provide sanitary towels to girls and improve access to water. In 2010, we extended our hygiene and sanitation education to more rural schools serving rural communities. With the help of friends and supporters, we have been able to make new commitments to build more latrines for primary schools in 2011
HIV/AIDS AND TUBERCULOSIS
Over 70% of the AIDS victims live in Africa. Africa has less than 6% of the worlds AIDS budget. The leading cause of death in adults in Africa is HIV related followed by Malaria. Both are preventable. In 2010, 2 million Africans became infected with HIV.
According to UNAIDS, 14.8 million children have lost one or both parents because of AIDS. Life expectancy had fallen by over 20 years across the continent. Kenya has one of the highest infection rates in the world; with over 1.5 million people infected (population 34.6 million).
1.2 million Children in Kenya, were orphaned by AIDS and in 2009, 80,000 people died in Kenya from AIDS related disease. HIV prevalence has reduces because of nationwide education and awareness campaigns. Only one in three patients is receiving effective treatment.
The national prevalence has fallen from 13.4 % in 2000 to 6.7% in 2008. ICROSS has been directly involved in a wide range of HIV programmes since 1992. Following the strategic plan 1995 to 2005, ICROSS implemented wide ranging prevention programmes. With AIDS education and family planning strategies, ICROSS extended its work into central and western Kenya. Following long term home care for terminal patients, ICROSS extended its support programmes tripling the number of patients reached between 1996 and 2002.
The comprehensive strategy included:
• increasing third level care facilities in three districts
• creation of comprehensive AIDS resource centres at district level
• Provision of support to over 400 community groups.
• Pioneering in Kenya, home based health care at grass roots level
• Community owned support programmes for AIDS orphans and vulnerable children
• Creation of networks to support carers • Locally developed ways of identifying
children most in need
• Emergency grant program for AIDS orphans
• Anti-retroviral drugs for AIDS orphans infected with HIV
Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection of the lung which is increasingly serious involving easily identifiable symptoms. Tuberculosis has risen sharply with 15 million sufferers at any one time in 2010. TB kills more than 1.6 million people a year (4,400 people every day, 1 person every 20 seconds). 98% of TB deaths occur in poor countries; the vast majority in Africa. Kenya has one of the highest numbers of TB victims in the world with over a third of a million. 28% of adult Tb patients also have HIV.
Since 2002, ICROSS has a specific TB support intervention programme. This programme is primarily focused in three districts; Bondo, Kisii and Nakuru and adopts the Directly Observed Therapy (D.O.T.) as part of the WHO strategy.
MALARIA
Over half of the world’s population is at risk because of Malaria. There are a million deaths caused by malaria every year but mostly in Africa. 20% of all childhood deaths in Africa are caused by Malaria. The average Kenyan child has four episodes of malaria a year. Every 30 seconds, a child dies from malaria. Africa accounts for 91% of deaths. 85% of deaths are in children under 5years old. Kenya is in the top five countries on the planet affected by Malaria; 11.34 million cases a year. Six of the millennium development goals depend on fighting malaria. Disease and death from malaria is preventable and curable.
The groups most vulnerable to malaria are young children, pregnant women, patients with HIV/AIDS. ICROSS maintains a long term strategy of research, public health, prevention, treatment and clinical referral in fighting malaria.
In 2011, we have extended our mosquito net programme over 3,500 nets. Our target in 2011 is to distribute a further 10,000 nets in our project areas. Mosquito eradication and breeding site control increased in 2010. Public health awareness programmes to reduce new cases of malaria increased in all programme areas in 2010.
With the partnership of the ministry of health, intervention programmes will increase throughout the 18 months.
PUBLIC HEALTH RESEARCH
Building on the effective research of solar disinfection, we have designed new and improved water projects in urban areas based upon the findings of our research team in Nakuru. Together with the Royal College of Surgeons and our network of collaborators, we have been sharing the results of the SODIS studies internationally. ICROSS Was directly involved in bringing SODIS to Cambodia through Care Cambodia.
An important part of our public health research is to share findings and results with other organisations around the world. The purpose of this research is for us to find out the best possible way of making an impact. As a dynamic learning organisation, we are constantly examining what we are doing and finding ways of doing it better.
The research team at ICROSS will be expanding in 2011 as we take on new challenges exploring new areas of public health and disease control. The research team is lead by Dr Michael Meegan with

ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE DEVELOPING ICROSS
Over 30 years ICROSS has learned to be a dynamic listening and learning engine of change. The many publications, studies and works created from our programmes have taught us four things
1. Everythingisindynamicevolution
2. All that we do needs to be a wake to the past, receptive to the present and embracing of the future
3. Humans generally are poor at learning from their experiences in order to inform future choices based on knowledge.
4. The critical contribution of ICROSS lies in the focus and clarity of its public health research
We will continue to build ICROSS international within the context of evidence based planning, long term disease control and the prevention of infectious morbidity in Africa. In 2011, we are committed to the policy of inclusion, local ownership and cultural transparency.
We remain focused on basic primary health care, gradual reduction of poverty and 20 year programmes of community based health. No short term programme has ever demonstrated a long term effect; we continue to advocate for long term strategies in the reduction of starvation and suffering.
PARTNERSHIPS
2010 saw a series of new partnerships develop with ICROSS and another 35 community based organisations collaborated with our field programmes sharing common goals to reduce poverty and suffering. Building on a long history of community ownership and inclusive planning, ICROSS teams established new and exciting links, bringing in radically new perspectives to local development. All planning is done in the local language in keeping with the ICROSS principles.
b. GOVERNANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
ICROSS is committed to meeting the higher standards of best practice. As part of this commitment, our corporate governance policies have adapted and adopted the British Charity commission protocol requirements, stipulations, recommendations and guidelines regarding operational practice, codes of conduct and evaluation. As part of this international gold standard, ICROSS Kenya requires and demands of all of its partners a minimum of the adherence to the same international stipulations.
Available on our websites, we detail the corporate legislation and constitution that govern the transparency of ICROSS. Passed by Annual General meeting, are requirements that detail provisions and contingencies relating to the management of risk in all situations. T is the policy of ICROSS in Kenya to meet the highest standards of external scrutiny, probity and compliance. It is the policy of ICROSS to have a diligent, independent and external scrutiny of management operations and finance. As part of this commitment, in December 2010, the board of members voted two new Directors detailed at the end of the report. These are specialised in governance and law.

ICROSS Feb 2011
ICROSS had the official opening of Ilkilort Clinic this week. Government officials joined with Tribal leaders to mark the occasion. Ilkilorit is the latest ICROSS Clinic to be opened since the Ronan Conroy clinic in July 2008. This important Medical programme is the latest in our long term initiatives serving Tribal communities in East Africa. As part of our long term committment to community health Ilkilorit is the latest major initiative in partnership with the Ministry of health.
International Director Michael Meegan said " When Dr Joe Barnes and I created ICROSS over thirty years ago we never dreamt it would be this successful, we are very excited the health services will now be given to the people here. Ilkilorit is a growing area which suffers serious droughts and problems of malnutrition. "
The Local community heard speeches from the Chiefs, local representatives and community groups in the Area. Paul OleLasoi, Head of ICROSS Nomadic programmes said ICROSS "continues to grow and reach more and more communities wih the help of partners and friends. Our Public health programmes have never been stronger" He announced that The Government "has commited new nurses to the ICCROSS project which will extend all ICROSS Maternal child health projects to the area"
Maura Buchanan who has made frequent visits to ICROSS Rural health programmes over the past two ears has been directl involved with the nurses support and strengthening capacity. Maura has helped develop the Malaria control programme with the help of her network in the UK and clinic kits for ICROSS nursing teams. She has also donated child survival and diagnostic equipment to the programmes. Speaking at the opening, the senior nurse said she remained committed to the mothers and to women's health and she would return soon.
Gerry and Mabel Coogan officially opened the Paula ICROSS Clinic in memory of their daughter. Working on the project with the ICROSS teams for over two years it was the "realisation of a dream" and "one of the most beautiful gifts " that could be given. The friends and supporters of the new ICROSS project will work together with the communities towards improving malnutrition and drought response in the area. The groups of stakeholders gathered to discuss the many exciting plans for the Paula project "This is everything we are about, our vision in ICROSS is that small is beautiful, we are about basic public health, long term committment and community ownership" said Dr Michael Meegan.
Philip OleSironka, ICROSS Information Officer and long time community representative was supported in school by ICROSS over 25 years ago. He was MC at the opening. He announced the introduction to the area of SODIS and trachoma prevention as well as a new partnership with CDF and the Ministry of water to bring water to the area with ICROSS. The community thanked Maura, Gerry, Mebel and the overseas team . Philip noted that many community leaders like him had known of ICROSS for three decades. "Together and with our dedicated partners , we will fight to end poverty and childhood disease in all these villages. "
Representatives came from other Maasai health programmes including Inonyorri which opened in 1985 exactly 25 years ago. Mr Ole Lasoi said "When Fr Cunningham and Dr Mike Meegan opened Inonyorri we never realised we would be still learning and growing even now in new areas, this is amazing, our work is only just beginning"
Full details of the opening will be put on line next week.

ICROSS safe motherhood 2010-2011
SAFE MOTHERHOOD ICROSS 2011

A critical part of improving health care is the priorities for safe motherhood. As part f ICROSS’ campaign for advocating for mothers rights, we focus on empowering mothers and involving them in decision making. As part of the millennium goals, we are committed to reducing maternal deaths. Together with our partners, we understand that basic health care alone is not sufficient to improve safe motherhood. Maasai mothers often have their first child at the age of 17yrs. ICROSS seeks to delay marriage and first birth. This campaign has been effective and has attributed to more girls staying in school. Through community based education in the local language, we are encouraging families to delay marriages and first birth until girls complete their education.
Risks in pregnancies: there are many life threatening complications and risks that occur in pregnancy. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest death rate in the world. It is essential that all pregnant women have access to a qualified midwife. They require guidance and support during their pregnancy and after child birth.
Improved delivery: ICROSS Kenya is working to establish the most critical intervention of safe motherhood. This is to ensure skilled delivery at birth. ICROSS remains committed to building maternity units in all its clinics Reproductive health services: developed through local culture and language, we continue to provide high quality reproductive health services. These interventions are culturally sensitive and help individuals and communities be empowered by making their own choices. Since Sharon Wilkinson introduced reproductive health education into ICROSS health programmes in 1993, we have continued to provide education and information in homes, villages and clinics.
Prevention of unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortion: over 75 million unwanted pregnancies occur every year; mostly in the poor world. Without effective family planning, unsafe abortions can kill and cause permanent harm. By ensuring effective family planning, contraceptive advice and trained counselling, we can greatly reduce risk.
Safe Motherhood Research: for 30 years, ICROSS has studied the impact of its safe motherhood programme. The longest and most significant of these studies took 20 years to complete. This study examined the reduction of no natal tetanus in new born children.
Partnerships in Safe Motherhood: in 2010, ICROSS extended its network of community based organisations, women’s groups and self help societies. Together with a growing number of partners including the ministry of health, we have continued to strengthen our capacity to provide safe motherhood.

special projects ICROSS Kenya 2010
OUR WORK
SPECIAL PROJECTS
Among the long term programmes that ICROSS has been directly involved in has been series of interventions. These special projects respond to immediate needs like ethnic violence, epidemics, disease outbreaks and famines. This year, we responded to three unpredicted needs.
i. DROUGHT
The failure of the rains in 2009 caused the Maasai nomadic communities to lose their livestock over 70% of animals died during the drought. ICROSS was able to provide many families milk and goats and provide nutritional support to under nourished children. We have developed an institutional memory for drought response. Our very first activities among the Maasai in 1980 to 1984 were famine relief and drought preparedness. Almost 30 years later the experience ICROSS health teams have been supporting over 3000 moderately malnourished children in worst hit areas.
ii. CHOLERA CONTROL
Together with the ministry of health, we launched a district wide cholera prevention programme, covering all of Kajiado district. The Ministry of Health and ICROSS teams covered all high risk areas for cholera outbreaks in a cholera control initiative. ICROSS teams also introduced child to child cholera prevention in homes and villages across Maasai land.
i. TRACHOMA
Since 1994, we have been developing new ways of reducing blindness from trachoma. The Maasai have one of the highest rates of trachoma blindness in the world. This bacterium is the largest preventable cause of blindness in the world. In 2010, the ICROSS research team improved on the designs of its fly trap; the latest design is a simplification of the previous model developed with Prof David Morley. In 2011, we will test the improved fly trap.

ICROSS extending health programmes
ICROSS a unique responase to Poverty
2010 marks a significant milestone as we reach 30 years of public health programmes. When Dr Joe Barnes and I began our work, we never realised that it would become such a significant contribution in reducing poverty and disease. In this annual review, we will look back on some of the highlights over the last thirty years. Before looking at the new challenges, as we build the organization over the next decade. Together with our friends and partners, we have managed to extend our long term public health programmes despite extraordinary challenges and demand on our limited resources thanks to the dedication of hundreds of volunteers.
We have been able to achieve improved health services and significant reductions in water borne diseases. The great strength of ICROSS has always been a unique combination of long term commitment and evidence based research. Because we built all of our work through our local belief systems and traditions, this year has shown how effective the ICROSS model can be. This report marks a further milestone following the restructuring of the charity like all dynamic organizations we are constantly incorporating new ideas and improved practices. This report outlines a series of new steps we have taken to prepare ICROSS for the years ahead. On behalf of Dr Evan Sequiera and our board of directors, as well as our programmes and management teams, I thank you for sharing our work in this annual report.
Over 35% of children in ICROSS projects are underweight or stunted. Kenya has a population of 36.b million. Its life expectancy is 35 and falling. The average age of Kenyans is 17 years old and the chances of dying before the age of 30 are ten times higher than living in Europe. ICROSS remains committed from the last 30 years to the improvement of health in vulnerable communities and tribal groups. ICROSS has worked over the decades with many endangered tribes suffering from high infant mortality and maternal deaths. Infant mortality in Kenya in 2009 was 55 per 1000 compared with 4.6 per 1000 in the UK. With infant disease 200 times higher than in Western Europe, ICROSS is dedicated to reducing this suffering. In Finland, infant mortality rate is 3.47 per 1000, France, 3.3 per 1000. Kenya ranks 181st in the world with one of the highest death rates in East Africa.
Together with a strong policy of holistic obstetrics and gynaecology, ICROSS is building sustainable women’s health. For 15 years, the chairman of ICROSS in Kenya has been the chief of surgery and obstetrics at the Nairobi Aga Khan hospital, Dr Evan Sequiera. He continues the work of Dr Joe Barnes in setting a selfless example of giving

inspirations Mike Meegan
A loving person is one who is awakened and transformed into empathy.
Mike Meegan
All God wants of man is a compassionate heart.
Mike Meegan
Do exactly what you would do if you felt most loved and cherished.
Michael Meegan
All life, every living thing is a word for God in His mystery .
Michael Meegan
One one thing is expecte of you, and that is that you should come out
of yourself and love with all your being and all your light without stopping.
Michael Meegan
God is at home and is content, it is we who are looking and are not
at one in ourselves.
Michael Meegan
In order to create and to heal, to do and to serve, ..to act we
need detachment.
Michael Meegan
Even if we were offered everything that exists, it is nothing
compared to the freedom and power of being loved.
Michael Meegan
If you only utter a single prayer in this life let it be Thanks,
with all your heart
Michael Meegan
Man goes far away or near but God never goes far-off; he is always
standing close at hand, and even if he cannot stay within he goes no
further than the door.
Michael Meegan
One person who has mastered life is better than a thousand persons who
have mastered only the contents of books, but no one can get anything
out of life without God.
Meister Eckhart
The best thing you can say is the thing that you have not uttered,
Michael Meegan
The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.
Meister Eckhart
The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they
should see God as if he stood there and they here. This is not so. God
and I, we are one in knowledge.
Meister Eckhart
The more we possess the less we have
Michael Meegan
The more we own the less we have
Mike Meegan
The outward man is the swinging door; the inner man is the still hinge.
Meister Eckhart

Il n'existe que l'instant présent ... Maintenant, une qui a toujours et
sans fin est elle-même de nouvelles. Il n'y a pas d'hier ni demain, mais
Maintenant seulement, comme il était il ya mille ans et que ce sera un mille
ans plus tard.

Pour être plein de choses est d'être vide de ce qui compte. Pour être vide de
choses est d'être pleine de liberté.

Il est en crise, nous nous trouvons, alors quand nous sommes brisés alors ce

Nous célébrons la fête de la naissance éternelle que Dieu le Père
