Afya Kid's Africa
The Medic Outpost Africa Team has done a fantastic job this year. Our dedicated group of folks are trying to focus on the largest of the public School in the slums outside of Nairobi. Their focus in now in the Korogocho slum area on the Northwest side of Nairobi. This area has a higher number of low resource public schools. These schools are very poor and can have as many at 3500 students in them with class sizes often over 75 students. The team consists of up to 8 members with our team covering medical treatment, training on first aid, and hygiene. It is a very difficult and challenging project and I am so proud of our team there.
Medic Outpost is in the process of registering as a nongovernmental organization in Kenya. This registration will allow the organization to be eligible for more funding opportunities in the future. If you are interested in being involved as a board member for our Kenya operations then please let me know.
Please help us buy medications for these children. We need
12,000 doses to reach our goal.

The Africa Update
By Larry Hill | Executive Director
Grettings all,
I will be heading to Africa in a few days to begin our training programs for healthcare workers and school staff. We are partnering with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education to provide instestinal parasite treatment, eye exams, first aid for children, and preventative health education in primary schools. Medic Outpost will also be donating medical kits and first aid kits to schools in the Nairobi Slums. Our goal is to treat and train at least 4 schools a month and then expand the program using our trained Community Health Workers. I will sending out our newsletter while in Africa, "Dispatches from the Field", and short reports on how we are doing. Please stay tuned for those. Thank you all for your help and support.
All the Best,
Larry Hill
Director

Medic Outpost Africa
By Larry Hill | Executive Director
Medic Outpost programs have been a tremendous success in the Marurui Slums of Nairobi. Together with our partners Rebuild Hope, Nadhari Community Clinic, and the Ministry of Health we have provided over 6000 treatments for intestinal parasites in multiple schools. The dose has an age range of 1 year to adult and will treat the worms for a year. Intestinal parasites cause poor physical development, mental development issues, and make it very difficult for children to concentrate and focus in school. This is a huge problem in poor areas in Africa and we are going to continue the fight as soon as the children get back from their Spring break. Our goal is to find funding for more medications and to add vitamins to our treatment regime as well. I will be returning to Africa soon to conduct community healthcare worker training in these communities. This training will extend our reach and provide valuable resources and follow up. Training locals in the poorest areas is the corner stone to our sustainability plan for Africa. Please consider helping us provide medications and training to these wonderful people. I will be providing more information on this as we move through the year.
