Greetings from Kuku Group Ranch! Our Health Program continued its' busy efforts for the month of October. More specifically with a focus on the Trachoma Campaign.

The
Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust was integral in making the Ministry of Health's
Trachoma Campaign a
success. Trachoma is an infectious eye disease that can cause blindness if it is not treated in its' early stages.
From October 28 - November 2, MWCT health staff organized outreaches with our ambulance to villages of Samai and Enkusero, Moilo, Singila, and Campi ya Kanzi/Chyulu Hills Conservation and Research Centre (CCRC) to ensure the communities received appropriate drugs to prevent trachoma.

| A very successful campaign! |
As a result, we
exceeded the target set by the Ministry of Health and provided trachoma drugs to 3300 people in the Iltilal catchment area. What a success!
Another exciting update for MWCT, is the initiation of a new
Bead Project. This income generating project has been initiated in collaboration with
Campi ya Kanzi to benefit local Maasai women.

Every guest from Campi ya Kanzi will receive a beaded bracelet made by women from throughout Kuku Group Ranch. This project will also aim to improve access to an uptake of reproductive health services, and reinforce public health messages during women group meetings
