Sponsor a Staff Member
Our local staff members are the heart and soul of the organization. Sponsoring a staff member’s salary makes an incredibly direct and positive impact on our work, and allows us to continue our expansion, serving more community members in need.
Sponsor a Nurse
The Johanna Justin-Jinich (JJJ) Community Clinic provides affordable, high-quality healthcare within the Kibera slum. The clinic sees an average of 50 patients per day. We currently employ two full-time nurses – one runs the Women’s Program and the other provides primary care. The Women’s Program provides pre-natal and child-wellness care (including vaccinations) to women who would not be able to afford it anywhere else.
To sponsor the Women’s Program is $350/month or $4,200/year.
Sponsoring the assistant nurse is $187/month, or $2,240/year.
Sponsor a Clinical Officer
The Johanna Justin-Jinich (JJJ) Community Clinic provides accessible, affordable, high-quality healthcare within the Kibera slum. The clinic sees an average of 100 patients per day. We currently employ two full-time clinical officers as our primary physicians at the clinic. A clinical officer is the Kenyan equivalent of a nurse practitioner, and thus can practice on his/her own. Our clinical officers have already saved the lives of many patients and are providing preventative and primary care six days per week.
Sponsoring a Clinical Officer is $350/month, or $4,200/year.
Sponsor the Community Health Worker Program
The Community Health Worker (CHW) Program supports all of the JJJ Community Clinic’s programs. Our CHW’s are responsible for following up with patients about their treatment plans and appointments, for running triage when patients first arrive at the clinic, and for doing educational public health outreach in the community. The CHW’s are all trained women from Kibera, several of whom used to be traditional home-birth attendants.
Sponsoring the entire CHW program includes the salary and benefits of 7 CHW’s (including the program leader), their daily lunch, and their uniforms. The entire program costs $9,000/year to run, or $750/month. The first year of the CHW program is currently being sponsored by SHOFCO-Wesleyan, but please let us know if you are interested in sponsoring it in the future.
