WE REACH CBO donates to the County government to combat COVID-19 in Kenya

WE REACH CBO joined the County Government of Kakamega in Kenya’s efforts to combat the COVID-19 disease by donating liquid soap for hand washing to be distributed to various health facilities and isolation centres across Kakamega. 

This was in response to an appeal made by the Kakamega County Director of Health asking partners in the County to help fill the gap in the shortage materials to combat COVID-19 so preventing the spread of the disease. 

Speaking when receiving the donations, County Public Health Officer Mr. Indeje and County Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Coordinator Mr. Kevin expressed happiness with the commitment from WE REACH CBO in helping the fight against COVID-19. 

“With this kind of support by WE REACH CBO we are now able to gradually address the shortage of COVID-19 materials. It will go along way to help us fight this pandemic in our County. We therefore appreciate your support and we will continue to do so until we win the war against this disease,’’ Said Mr. Indeje “We thank you for that.” 

 Speaking during the donation WE REACH CBO Executive Director Erick Bosire said, “Today we have donated 250 litres of liquid handwashing soap to be distributed to various health facilities and isolation centres and we will continue to partner with government especially in this fight against COVID-19 disease. 

 “We all need to double our efforts and do whatever it takes to make sure we overcome this fight. The coronavirus, if not halted, will have a vast negative impact on the most vulnerable communities, and poses a risk to efforts and progress to improving the health and wellbeing of people in our community”. ‘As an organisation are working in collaboration with government and other organisations to prevent the spread of the virus and reduce its effects on the most vulnerable’. 

 WE REACH CBO operates within Lurambi Sub County in Kakamega County by improving school children’s health and disease prevention through the delivery of Water and Sanitation Hygiene using sustainable and community led solutions.
