OPERATING AS

KINGDOM FAITH BASED HOSPITAL Incorporating

KINGDOM EYE REFERRAL HOSPITAL

ORIGIN

The vision of David and Kathy Tait, New Zealanders whose kingdom calling is to Malaha

Village, Webuye, in Western Kenya. Shifting to Kenya on a long term basis in July 2017, they

have constructed, with the support of generous New Zealand donors, the KINGDOM CLINIC,

offering outpatient services to the local and wider community. The Clinic opened on 14

March 2018. This is the first stage of the vision to construct a full service hospital, with an

emphasis on eye care.

HEALTH COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATION (C.B.O.)

Malaha Village, Webuye, Bungoma County, Kenya

REGISTRATION: BMG.EAST/32/2018

The Clinic occupies the front half of the building, while the rear is to become a Theatre

Block. Until we are able to equip it and build an Inpatients Ward block, Public Health has

requested that use the space as a Maternity Unit.

This conversion is currently underway.

First beds have arrived. Made up ready for use.

Now is operational

OBJECTIVES

1. GLORIFYING GOD All we do is for God’s glory. 2. SUSTAINABILITY God’s kingdom is based on sustainability. Our objective is to make all we do self-sustaining in the long term. Good governance and revenue generation are keys to this.

3. COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE Our project/s are carried out in consultation with the Government and local leadership. What started out as an EYE CLINIC has grown into a OUTPATIENTS CLINIC to both meet the people’s needs and to make better use of the physical resources we have been entrusted with. As funding becomes available, we will grow into a full service HOSPITAL with the ability to carry out operations for those with health insurance, so helping those with limited resources afford healthcare. 4. EYE CARE In Kenya one person every minute goes blind, most of which is preventable! Eye care therefore is a huge problem and one the Government does not fund. Our No. 1 priority.

GOVERNANCE The organization is a Community Based Organization (CBO), registered in Bungoma County, Kenya, the area in which we operate. Registration No. BMG.EAST/32/2018.

Our bankers are KCB Bank. The Organization is governed by a Board of Management incorporating people of various backgrounds with skills that contribute to the running of the complex, including the Chief of the area The primary Office Holders are…..

A recommendation from the former Governor of Bungoma County, and now the Speaker of the Senate, (number 3 in the Kenyan Government hierarchy after the President and Vice President) for our Chairman follows, along with another from New Zealand for the Taits…..

Chairman: Bishop David Walukhu (Nehemia Ministries) Secretary: Dr Job Kisiang’ani (Medical Director) Treasurer: David John Tait (Overseer) Members: Kathleen Mary Tait (Overseer) Dr Keith Maslin (Ophthalmologist) David and Kathy Tait oversee the operations on a daily basis. They moved from New Zealand to Kenya in July 2017to live and have been granted a Residence Permit by the Kenyan Government. David is businessman by background and the Founder of Walking With Jesus Ministries, a worldwide kingdom ministry, sharing about building the kingdom of God, ‘on earth as it is in heaven’, both by spiritual and physical means. Kathy is a very experienced Theatre Nurse, having specialized in eyes for the past 11 years.

HOSPITAL LICENCE

The Facility is currently registered by under the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists

Act as a level 3A Medical Centre. The grading will change to a Level 4 Hospital as the facility

expands.

Registrations have also been received for the Kenya Revenue Authority, NSSF, Bungoma

County Business Licence, along with NHIF contributor registration.

NHIF

NHIF Provider Registration is awaiting approval at their next Board Meeting. Obviously, this

will make a huge difference to the operation of the facility.

CONSTRUCTION TO DATE

An account of progress made follows.

After much discussion (the way Africa works), planning, and protracted negotiations, 1 acre

of land was purchased in September 2017. Construction of the present building

commenced in late October, 2017.

COMMUNITY NEEDS

EYE HEALTH

1 KENYAN GOES BLIND EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY

More than 224,000 Kenyans suffer from blindness; 43% of these cases are caused by

cataracts. While major urban centres like Nairobi have access to eye care, much of the

country’s rural population does not. Additionally, many more have cataracts and other

eye conditions which hamper them in their work and life.

MOST BLINDNESS CAN BE TREATED THROUGH EARLY MEDICAL INTERVENTION

REALITY: THE PUBLIC MEDICAL SYSTEM IN KENYA HAS MINIMAL RESOURCES ALLOCATED

TO EYE HEALTH, SO HELP IS REQUIRED TO GIVE PEOPLE PRODUCTIVE LIVES.

GENERAL HEALTH

We can give you official figures, which are not good, but they do not reflect the situation

in our area.

49% of the people are under 15 years of age. Clean water is a big challenge – and water at

all during the dry season. Toilets are a hole in the ground and hygiene is poor. Family size

is round 5-6 children. Maternal care and birth control are priorities.

10%+ of children die before the age of 5.

25%+ of children’s growth is stunted because of malnutrition.

Malaria is rampant. Everybody gets malaria, most several times a year. David now twice!

HIV/Aids affects round 20% of the population here.

Other diseases, both tropical and other, prevent many people from reaching their full

potential.

Malnutrition, not so much in quantity of food, but in quality, causes numerous health

problems.

Cancer too, is a growing problem, and treatment is sparse to say the least.

There are 32 nurses, 6 doctors and 11 clinical officers per 100,000 people, to cope with

these challenges.

The Government spends 5-6% of its of relatively small, by Western standards, budget on

health, so quantity and quality of their health services leaves much to be desired.

The Government now has in place a self-funding health insurance scheme, NHIF, which r

ound 25% of the people in our area belong to. More are being encouraged to join, but

premiums have to be paid of course, a challenge for many here. But it is growing.

BUT HERE THERE IS HOPE! REALITY IS, THE CHALLENGES OF LIFE FOR MANY PEOPLE CAN

BE IMPROVED WITH A HELPING HAND.

WHEN FACILITIES ARE PROVIDED, QUALIFIED STAFF ARE AVAILABLE TO OPERATE THEM.

THE FACILITIES CAN BECOME SUSTAINABLE ON AN OPERATIONAL BASIS BY APPLYING THE

PRINCIPLE OF USING FUNDS GENERATED FROM CHARGING THE ‘HAVES’ TO HELP SERVICE

THE ‘HAVE NOTS’.

WE ARE NOT ‘FIGHTING FIRES’ BUT HELPING GIVE ‘A HAND UP’ TO PEOPLE, SO THAT THE

WHOLE COMMUNITY CAN GROW TOGETHER.

IN SPITE OF THEIR DIFFICULTIES PEOPLE HERE ARE OPTOMISTIC AND WORKING

TOWARDS A BETTER FUTURE, PARTICULARLY FOR THEIR CHILDREN.

YES, NEEDS ARE GREAT, BUT THE POTENTIAL OUTCOMES ARE LIFE CHANGING IN A WAY

NOT NOW SEEN IN THE WESTERN WORLD.

WILL YOU HELP US MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

OUR ASSURANCE

All projects are overseen by David and Kathy Tait to ensure that there is NO wastage, NO

administration fees, NO corruption. Your investment will be used 100% for the purpose

for which it is given. Both the locals, NGO’s and Charities, are amazed at the value we

have obtained for each dollar spent. Experienced in business, a medical environment, and

now in the local culture, we are uniquely placed to give you confidence in investing here.

Kathy and David treat your investment as if it is their own money being spent, and we are

very careful with money! You have our guarantee. We are personally accountable to you.

CURRENT PROJECTS

An overview only is given. Please contact us for detailed information on the project that

appeals to you.

To complete the current facility we require investment in…..

OPERATING THEATRES EQUIPPING - PROJECT CURE SUPPORT

INPATIENT WARDS

Our twin Operating Theatres and sluice room

have been constructed . Project C.U.R.E., the

largest supplier of medical equipment to

charities in the world, is supplying Theatre

equipment, plus much more. Photo shows

Raymond White, their Assessor, with us.

We have already met the costs of shipment of

approximately $US30,000.

We need yet to meet the costs of a Sterilizing

Room and associated equipment.

PROJECTED COST: GBP3,750 $US5,000

($NZ7,500)

A building of similar construction style to the present one, but 25%

longer and 1 metre wider. It will include 2 x30 bed wards plus 4 Private

Rooms capable of taking 8 beds.

The area is 4,860 sq. ft. (486 Squares)

This will enable to us admit inpatients and to carry out major

operations. Operations under insurance are highly profitable, and will

provide funding for expansion and subsidizing services for those who

cannot afford to pay full fees.

The large number of beds (68) will enable us to carry out many cataract

operations concurrently.

PROJECTED COST: GBP90,000 $US120,600 (NZ181,000) plus

equipment.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

WESTERN KENYA EYE REFERRAL HOSPITAL – SUPPORTED BY CBM NZ

Our primary focus is eyes. As mentioned above, 1 person goes blind In Kenya every minute

of every day. The Government allocation to eye care is very small, so completely unable to

meet even a small fraction of the demand.

In Western Kenya, where we are located, with a population of 10 million plus, there is no

major facility dedicated to eye care. Blindness is a debilitating disease and so much of it can

be prevented by early intervention and through cataract surgery.

The photo shows the difference it has made to one man, who was blind but can now see

again.

Early onset cataracts are a big problem affecting even younger children.

While we will serve all, our focus will be on Paediatric Optometry and Optothamology.

The Christian Blind Mission (CBM) New Zealand, have undertaken to support this project

over a 3 year period, starting January 2019, including in Year 2, an Outreach Van, equipped

to do eye inspections in schools and the community. CBM are contributing GBP124,000

$US165,000 (NZ250,000) to this major project for both ouselves and Western Kenya. To

fully complete the building itself, a top up is required in 2019.

TOPUP: BUILDING GBP37,500 $US50,000 ($NZ75,000)

Construction has commenced. After just 5 days of people power the foundations are nearly

ready for the slab to be laid!

In the meantime we have commenced offering Eye Clinics in the prersent facility. An

operating microscope and slit lamp have been donated that will shortly enable us to carry

out cataract and other eye operations in the present Clinic, prior to the Eye Hospital

opening.

MATERNITY FACILITY

A focus of the Government Health programme is upon birthing plus pre and post natal care

and family planning. A customized facility will enable us to provide better services than we

are currently able to supply.

Obviously, with an average family size of 5-6 children, 49% of the population 14 or under,

and an under 5 morbidity rate of 10%+, the need is huge.

PROJECTED COSTS: BUILDING GBP30,000 $US40,000 (NZ60,000) EQUIPMENT GBP11,000

$US15,000 (NZ22,000)

MORTUARY

This may seem an unusual addition but necessary with life expectancy round 60. Sadly,

many people die younger. Funerals are a big thing here, and normally the body remains in

the mortuary for a week before burial. There are no local alternatives to the Public Hospital,

where the refrigeration system does not work much of the time. So people have to take

their loved ones far away to find a working mortuary.

The business is potentially very profitable and will make a financial contribution towards

other facilities within the hospital.

PROJECTED COSTS: BUILDING GBP87,000 $US110,000 (NZ90,000) FRIDGES + $US30,000

(NZ45,000)

CHILD CANCER UNIT

Child cancer is a growing problem here. Chemotherapy and operations are the only viable

alternatives for treatment. These work well provided the cancers are caught early enough.

A screening process, both for eye problems and cancer is planned amongst the hundreds of

thousands of school children in the County.

PROJECTED COSTS: BUILDING GBP60,000 $US80,000 (NZ120,000) EQUIPMENT GBP11,000

$US15,000 (NZ22,000)

COMMUNITY HEALTH PROJECT

BACKGROUND

When we came to Kenya and built the facility, charging minimal prices compared to other

facilities, and only 50shillings more than the public system, with much better service, we

imagined that people would flock in, to take advantage of the facility.

However, the results have been very disappointing as, in spite of our best efforts, working

through the traditional lines of a medical camp, Community Health Volunteers, Chiefs and

Elders, results have simply hardly improved. Sometimes they have actually had negative

effects. (CHV’s).

We have been bleeding money sustaining the operational expenses, which is not

sustainable long term. However again, NHIF registration will cure that, by providing services

to the slightly better off. That is nearly complete.

We still desire to provide some benefit to villagers, and perhaps show our heart to them.

So we have come up with this programme, which is very low cost, but we expect to be

effective for them.

OBJECTIVES

1. To provide very basic health checks to the villagers e.g. Weight, Blood Pressure,

Malaria and Diabetes Testing, Jiggers Treatment.

2. To encourage people who need problems dealt with to seek medical help, whether at

our facility or another of their choice.

PROGRAMME CO-ORDINATOR

Responsibility for oversight, with act participation, is KATHY TAIT, who needs no

introduction being known as Mama Kathy Nafula in the community! She has participated in

many village clinics, funerals, church meetings etc.

KATHY (LITERALLY) GIVES THE SHOES OFF HER FEET TO A SERIOUS 'JIGGERS' SUFFERER! Jiggers is a flea that burrows under the skin. Here is the info about it.......

"Jigger infestation is caused by an impregnated female sand flea (Tunga penetrans) which burrows into various parts of the body, such as finger nails, ankles, elbows, palms, toes, knees, lips, eyelids and buttocks. As the flea feeds on a person's blood, it grows and lays eggs the shape and size of a pea that can cause pus-filled sores. Serious cases can lead to ulceration, fibrosis, gangrene, loss of toe nails, amputation of fingers and even death. The major cause of jigger infestation is poor hygiene."

Kathy found this boy (who is being circumcised shortly, as the sign of manhood) with a very bad infestation on his and gave him her sandals.

Shortly we will be extending the project to incorporate Eye Health Care.

OPERATIONAL COSTS GBP5,500 $US8,000 (NZ12,000)p.a. GBP500 $US667

(NZ1,000) per month.

CONCLUSION

There are many other potential projects such as xray, ultrasound, HIV/Aids facilities,

hospice and many others that you may be interested in investing in.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our profile.

We are only too pleased to provide more information on specific areas of interest, or

answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to contact us by email or phone at the

contact details below.

We assure you of our full attention at all times. We value our donors highly, for without you

we would not be able to assist the people here whose needs are so great.

We have dedicated our lives long term to come from New Zealand to live here in Kenya and

serve the people, both in the physical and spiritual. It is also our desire to serve our donors,

ensuring that your Investments are used effectively for the maximum benefit of both

donors and donees.

What we have achieved so far on investments of $US200,000 (NZ300,000) is our testimony

to you of what can be achieved from your investment. Of course, in future, results will be

even more visible as the infrastructure for the hospital is now completed.
