clinics. Inyonyori has served the communities in Maasailand for 25
years This picture shows the new wing which will be used as part of
the Mother and child care and the child survival programmes. As we
develop the primary health interventions and disease control we are
increasing the numbers of health personnel at all ICROSS clinics. In
this, the largest expansion on health services since 1997 we hope to
double our field capacity by 2014.
At the centre of the ICROSS strategic plan is Mother and child health,
reproductive health, comprehensive safe motherhood and long term
changes in malnutrition and water resources. Together with all our
friends, colleagues and partners we are building a long term health
programme that will make a lasting impact in the lives of the
communities we serve.
ICROSS Nurses and womens group leaders joined other organisations and
community groups yesterday at the District health planning forum. As
ICROSS prepares for the challenges of the drought , we are working
closely with Government and tribal leaders to put support systems in
place. Our partners in Kenya and Europe are working hard to put in
place the resources needed to reach those most in need.
The Entasat said "We need women around the World to share our journey
and work with us to help in these times of such suffering for our
mothers and children" Field project leader OleMakeseer added that "
It is hard for people to understand the extreme poverty endured in
this time, without food and water, many of our people enduring
unimagined hardship and poverty".
Speaking from Inyonyori the International Director said " the future
remains community owned planning, locally driven priorities, our great
success over the last thirty years is working through the culture and
values of the communities, that how we have survived over the decades,
by living among th communities as part of them. We are proud that long
before community participation became a fad in the mid 1990s, we were
implementing local ownership and decision making" Michael Meegan went
on to say that " We are not passing through, our teams , managers,
nurses are from the communities, this is the only way that will work
long term" More on http://icrossprojects.blogspot.com/ and
