SJT AMKA Health Project

SJT AMKA Health Project Home Based Care & Education AMKA is een Centrum voor gezondheid & onderwijs waarbij aidspatiënten en hun familie ondersteund worden. AMKA means wake up.

De opvolging van weeskinderen en kwetsbare kinderen staat centraal, zowel op educatief als medisch niveau. Zo worden de kinderen geholpen voor hun opvoeding, verzorging, verbetering van de levensomstandigheden en medische zorgen. Zij krijgen schoolgeld (kan voor het basis-, secundair-, hoger of universitair onderwijs zijn), psychologische begeleiding d.m.v. regelmatige school- en thuisbezoeken en

seminaries, medische zorg en 1 warme maaltijd per dag. Het project is erkend door het Ministerie van Volksgezondheid in Kenia. Luc Martens, Petit Frère de Foucauld et apparenté aux responsables du projet en Belgique, a co-fondé en 1998 le centre AMKA à Nairobi. Les sœurs de Tarbes y prennent en charge un grand nombre d'enfants orphelins (du sida) et vulnérables pour les soins médicaux, l’alimentation, le mentorat et la scolarisation. AMKA est donc un centre de santé et d’éducation. When HIV patients were bedridden, AMKA was sword to encourage them that one day they will wake up from their sick bed and continue with life. A word giving them hope.

Am so proud of my AMKA team. Today they had the visit of 35 Dutch youth of the organization Cross Your Borders with food and activities. All well done!

And we have since last August full time volunteers given the best of themselves. And lots more booked this year!
It's such a nice interaction and added value for both Europe and Africa. YES WE CAN!

One of our volunteers Carole Van den Bosch is actually at the project and is helping the kids. Here she is doing a home visit at Grand mother and Grand child Fabian. One of our children.
Thanks a lot Sophie for the support, most of our children can have a good mattress, even to place on the floor and have a calm sleep.
