We have some great updates to share with you from our
Health Program for the month of
October. Medical outreaches continue throughout this month to various villages throughout Kuku Group Ranch.
On October 14, a medical outreach took place in Kuku - 64 patients were seen at this very
busy community outreach. A
Community Health Worker delivered a talk to those in attendance on family planning. This talk resulted in five clients requesting for contraceptives.

Also on October 15, Lairumbe presented a talk on female genital cutting to 50 MWCT Rangers. The presentation was well received, with many inquisitive questions and comments from the Rangers.

In light of the recent increase in teenage pregnancies which is a direct result of girls dropping out of school, MWCT has initiated a
weekly school education program in Iltilal, as well as a
monthly education program in Langata. On October 17, MWCT Health staff visited Iltilal Primary School and spoke to 70 girls in Class 6 and 7 about setting life goals. The next day, staff travelled to Langata Primary School to speak to 150 girls in Class 5, 6, 7, and 8.
