In March 2021, the DKHF received a generous donation from Verburg Charity Foundation, located in Stolwijk. Thanks to their contribution, new toilets could be built in our tuberculosis village in Kacheliba. Also, our tuberculosis village in Sigor was equipped with electrification.

In 2020, a total of 562 tuberculosis patients were admitted to our tuberculosis villages for two months of treatment. In addition, 420 patients who had not completed their course of antibiotics were traced and treated.

In 2018, the DKHF decided to renovate and expand their tuberculosis villages located in Kacheliba and Sigor. Originally, these villages were built and equipped with electricity by the Stichting Medische Hulp Kenia. The renovation and expansion of the TB manyatta’s was made possible by Stichting PAUMA.

On October 16th 2019 our chairman Paul Mertens presented the results of a study researching the prevalence of leprosy in West Pokot County and what it implies for local leprosy control.
