Health: Transforming lives
Dr. Dana Maxey attending patients in Masai, Kenya
With your prayers and support, DCM can bring hope and change the lives of many orphans, children with disabilities and provide health care services to many, especially widows and elderly persons who live in poor communities. You have the ability to save life and also serve the disabled with dignity and respect as equal human being in the eyes of God.
DCM has implemented a number of health care programs for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kenya and has also worked closely with LCMS World Relief and Human Care Mercy Medical Teams, and Bootraps for the World Wellness in restoring health and dignity to many Kenyans in poor communities such as Kibera Slums, Kisumu and other parts of rural Kenya including Pokot and Maasai Communities.
Even though DCM cannot cope with demand to deliver services due to resource constraints, however, DCM is proud to be working with the most marginalized and vulnerable population in our communities, especially children with developmental disabilities, orphans and the elderly in providing solution to their health problems and empowering them economically.
DCM is currently working with two clinics in ELCK Lake Diocese ( Kisumu Medical Center and Atemo Health Center in providing counseling to PLWHAs, nutritional therapies, medication and making referral services to other health facilities within the region.
