In June 2024, our focus was on the (not too rosy) results of a health survey of the children of Kasemeni. We also focused on the progress of the renovation/new construction of Kasemeni Primary School and on strengthening the foundations of the many small micro-credit projects in that locality. The water supply in Banga also had our attention.
An account of our findings, the great results we are achieving together with the community and our much-needed further plans can be found in the visit report.

In March this year, a doctor and a nurse from the Netherlands investigated the health and dental condition of the 269 children aged 4-7, from the five kindergartens in Kasemeni. The results were worrying; a lot of underweight, anaemia and worms were seen, and the dental condition of many children was dramatic.

This led to projects being launched to greatly improve the availability of sufficient and varied food for the children. Better dental care will be addressed at a later stage. During our brief visit to the region in June 2024, we laid the groundwork. We also followed the renovation of the primary school in Kasemeni and the development of a number of micro-credit projects.
