Christian Missionary Fellowship”s Maasai Health Services
By Jennifer Taylor
Christian Missionary Fellowship”s Maasai Health Services clinics recently received a grant of $516,000 from the U.S. President”s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief to provide HIV/AIDS services in the Maasai area of Kenya.
In 2009 these clinics saw 71,000 patients, not including a large number of children who received immunizations and women who received follow-up pregnancy visits. In recent years the clinics have been run completely by Kenyans, many of whom were encouraged in their educational and career pursuits by missionaries from CMF, based in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The funds will be dispersed to the clinics through September 2011. Monies will be used for HIV/AIDS education, prevention, medication, staff training, and assistance to get to rural villages where there are no clinics.
