The UST-GDI Board of Directors heard three project proposals on day 2 of presentations seeking grants. The board awarded the full $900,000 grant request to the Denpasar Devotion project in Bali, Indonesia. This project aimed to address malnutrition among young mothers and school-aged children through an incentive program providing nutrition and vitamins. The board placed the Human Capital in Chimborazo conditional cash transfer program in Ecuador on the preferred waiting list due to its large $3.3 million budget request, though the program was well designed and showed promise. A waterless toilet proposal in Bolivia addressed sanitation issues but failed to convince the board on measures of impact and community buy-in.
The Albury Wodonga Aboriginal Health Service established a community garden in 2012 to improve access to affordable fresh fruits and vegetables for community members. The garden provides a space for a women's group and their children to gather and pick produce. It was established using a 'no dig' method with support from local training programs. The garden aims to improve nutrition and bring community members together.
The assessment identified several priority health issues for the Clunes community, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, mental health conditions, and obesity.

The Jal Jeevan Mission aims to provide functional household tap connections to every rural household in India by 2024. It was launched in 2019 to ensure access to safe drinking water in rural areas, which is crucial for health as it prevents waterborne illnesses. The mission builds on the experiences of the previous National Rural Drinking Water Program to address challenges like infrastructural gaps and water quality issues. It prioritizes community involvement and aims to empower local bodies to manage water resources and infrastructure in their villages. Significant progress has been made, with tap water coverage increasing from 3.23 crore to 13.98 crore households. However, challenges remain around awareness, coordination, funding, and data collection. If successful, the mission

Executive Summary:
Mukuru Promotion Centre is a church based charitable organization that was established by the Sisters
of Mercy in 1985. The organization started as a temporary school in the heart of the Mukuru slums and
its key objective then was to provide education to the children of Mukuru to get them off the streets.
Since its inception, MPC has expanded a great deal and now operates several projects that focus on four
key areas: Education, Health, Vocational Training, and Social Rehabilitation.
MPC’s vision is: In partnership with the Mukuru community, Mukuru Promotion Centre envisions the
Mukuru community attaining sustainable and holistic human development and self reliance. The overall
goal of all MPC actions in 2012-2015 as specified in our Strategic Plan will be to continue its contribution
to the alleviation of the dehumanizing effects of poverty and disease through interventions that lessen
the burden of living and liberate the population to focus on development initiatives.
Significance of the Project:
Mukuru Informal Settlement: the Mukuru slum lies within Nairobi’s industrial area with an estimated
population of 600,000 people, majority of them being women and children. Most households within this
community are headed by women. Like all other informal settlements in Nairobi the Mukuru slum is
1

2. MUKURU PROMOTION CENTRE
severely overcrowded, insecure and lacks basic health and sanitation facilities. An average of 5 to 6
people live in a room that measures approximately 3 to 6 square meters. MPC has offered community
based health services to the community for years, and during the last four years, nearly 60,000 clients
benefited and nearly 1000 community health workers were trained. The current project aims to
enhance access and increase the number of clients to 18000 per year, 66,000 over the four years, 2012 –
2015.
Problem Statement:
Water is purchased from vendors at high costs and is therefore a very scarce resource. Heaps of garbage
are a common sight within this area blocking most of the drainage channels. Lack of sanitary facilities to
dispose human waste and garbage has led to serious environmental and health hazards including high
incidence of diseases like typhoid, cholera and diarrhea especially among young children.
The majority of the residents are poor, unemployment levels are high (especially the youth). Many work
as unskilled casual labourers earning less than $2 a day. As in most developing countries, Kenya faces a
big challenge as far as provision of affordable health care for its people is concerned. Quality health care
services are basically only available in private hospitals in Kenya and these facilities are beyond the
reach of the informal settlement population. Government facilities within these areas are ill equipped to
handle any serious ailment as they lack personnel, drugs and other medical equipment. The Mukuru
community members often resort to unregistered pharmacies and quack medics for many of their
health care needs. The only alternative are the few faith-based and donor sponsored health care
facilities within the catchment areas. The health services under Mukuru Promotion Centre were
instigated in response to this dire need.
Project Objectives:
Objective 1: Increase the number of clients that access the Community Based Health Care
Program. Two nurses, assisted by Community Health Workers, provide services in eleven
slum villages on a rotating basis.
Increase from 15,000 (2012) to 18,000 (2015) clients per year to benefit from the community
based health care program
Reduced mortality rate due to early diagnosis and intervention
Objective 2: Increase access to clean water for Mukuru community
3 village communities(approximately 300 households) have better access to clean water
annually with the provision of 3 community based water tanks (12 installations, 1,200
households over 4 years)
Reduction in the incidence of preventable diseases
Improved sanitation and general hygiene practices in the client community

3. MUKURU PROMOTION CENTRE
Objective 3: Reduce incidence of illness and undiagnosed health problems in primary school
children
4,500 primary school children benefit annually from regular health checks and follow-up if
necessary
450 Early Childhood Education and Development (ECED) children per year are screened for full
immunization; nutrition status; birth registration.
Reduced incidence of sick days due to better health: reduce from 9% (2011) to 5% (2015)
Objective 4: Improve health of children in the 4 MPC Early Childhood Education and
Development (ECED) Centres through education of caregivers
200 care-givers of ECED children (50 per school) attend a training three times per year (once per
term), on topics such as how to identify serious illness in children; nutrition; safe water and
sanitation; hygiene.
Reduced incidence of preventable diseases in ECED children
Objective 5: Increase effectiveness of Health services through capacity building
2 Nurses and 120 Community Health Workers benefit from updates/refresher courses
Health Workers provide up-to-date health information and treatment
Project Implementation and Management Plan:
Objective 1: Increase the number of clients that access the Community Based Health Care
Program. Two nurses, assisted by Community Health Workers, provide services in eleven
slum villages on a rotating basis.
Weekly, each of the two nurses, along with the mobile dispensary, visit one of eleven bases in
the eight villages in Mukuru Community. They meet with the Community Health workers (who
typically live in the village visited) who have mobilized clients who need medical attention, and
who are not capable of visiting MPC’s own clinic located on St Catherine’s school compound.
The nurses perform a general assessment and if in their opinion the administration of drugs will
provide resolution they provide the patient with the medication. If, in their opinion, that the
patient needs further medical treatment they arrange with family/friends/neighbours to have
the patient transported to the MPC Clinic or to a hospital.
Objective 2: Increase access to clean water for Mukuru community
In conjunction with the Area Chief and the Village Health Committees (established in
2009/10/11 by MPC) select the most needy villages to receive water tanks. In collaboration with
the Village Health Committees locate and install water tanks. Train and facilitate the purchase
and sale of water to the local population with the proceeds being used to purchase more water
3

4. MUKURU PROMOTION CENTRE
and to upgrade other infrastructure needs within the community as agreed by the community
members.
In collaboration with the community health workers, village health committees and village
authorities, organize monthly “community action days” whereby the community benefits from
education on public health issues; clean-ups; proper disposal of waste.
Objective 3: Reduce incidence of illness and undiagnosed health problems in primary school
children
In conjunction with Child Fund Kenya and the District Public Health Office, school medical camps
are organized once per term. This activity reaches a total of 4,500 MPC primary school and ECED
children who undergo general health checks once per term. The exercise is conducted with
partners: the District Public Health Office (DPO) and Child Fund Kenya (CFK). The reach of the
total exercise is to 6,000 children in 34 schools in Mukuru. It is conducted with health
professionals from MPC, CFK and seconded DPO staff to participate. Children with health
problems are referred to appropriate health services for treatment
Objective 4: Improve health of children in the 4 MPC ECD Centres
200 care-givers of ECED children (50 per school) will be invited to attend a training three times
per year (once per term). The training will be conducted by officials from the Department of
Public Health, and the topics covered will empower parents/care-givers to recognize symptoms
of serious illness and so seek early treatment. Education on safe water and sanitation will
empower them to treat water appropriately before drinking, and ensure safe disposal of human
waste, thus reducing the incidence of water-borne diseases.
Objective 5: Increase effectiveness of Health services through capacity building
The nurses and community health workers, in consultation with MPC, will identify and attend
appropriate seminars/training opportunities to continue to build their capacity to deliver quality
health services, education and advice.
