In a collaborative effort, the M-Pesa Foundation and the Kenya Institute of Special Education (KISE) held a free medical camp in Kacheliba Sub-County on Monday, bringing much-needed specialized care and disability services to hundreds of residents.
The day-long event, which took place at St. Kacheliba Girls School, was a critical lifeline for families in this remote region.
From morning until evening, specialists from KISE and dedicated healthcare workers conducted comprehensive evaluations, offering a range of vital services, including disability assessments, therapy sessions, and counseling.
Many children received long-awaited assessments, while adults were screened and provided with essential therapeutic support.
The initiative was met with an outpouring of gratitude from local leaders. West Pokot County Executive Committee Member for Health, Claire Parkalea, lauded the effort as a vital intervention.
“This medical camp has given our people an opportunity that is rarely available in remote areas such as Kacheliba. We are deeply grateful for the partnerships that made it possible,” she said.
Kacheliba MP Titus Lotee also attended the event, describing the initiative as a beacon of equity and inclusion. He emphasized the need for more such collaborations to reach other underserved parts of West Pokot.
“We applaud M-Pesa Foundation and KISE for their unwavering commitment to uplifting marginalized communities. Let this be the first of many,” he stated.
For many residents, the camp was more than just a health intervention; it was a profound moment of recognition and care.
