The Foundation's President James Japheth Mwamu said there is need by the County Government to release the stipend it pays to the Community Health Volunteers in time to help in motivating them in their work.

 

A Community Health Volunteer Helida Achieng Odindo has hailed the Foundation's gesture to visit them and donated them the items.

 

She says they have a lot of work within the community to help in enlightening the public on matters of health at the grass root level.

 

Achieng says they need personal protective devices like gloves, face masks among others to help them in their work.

 

Two weeks ago, the foundation visited the Community Health Workers in Ragumo area within the Kisumu East Constituency and donated such items to them.

 

The Foundation’s President James Mwamu had called on the County Government of Kisumu to consider increasing the stipend given to the Community Health Workers to enable them do their work effectively.

 

The Community Health Workers have lamented that the stipend they are currently offered is too little to sustain their work.
