We just got these photos in from a couple of our volunteers this week! Kyle Bullington, a high school student from Silicon Valley CA and volunteer with our Youth Sports Program, stopped by the construction site with Tabitha Medical Clinic Director, Hillary Okhidi, after soccer practice yesterday.
Although the clinic will help CFK's Tabitha Clinic manage an increased volume of patients, CFK still needs your support! Help us train new HIV/AIDS peer educators, keep our medical lab powered, and maintain our supply of anti-malarials by donating today.

CFK Tabitha Medical Clinic Teams Up with the CDC!
By Emily Pierce | Vice President
The Carolina for Kibera (CFK) Tabitha Medical Clinic formalized a partnership with the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) International Emerging Infections Program. As a part of the CDC's effort to track and target specific causes of morbidity in Kibera through an ongoing household surveillance program, CFK's Tabitha Medical Clinic has become the community referral clinic for over 20,000 residents to receive free health care.
Because of this new partnership, Tabitha Medical Clinic now staffs the only two full-time medical doctors in the entire Kibera slum. In order to accommodate the increased demand for the clinic's services, which now exceeds 100 patients every day, CFK broke ground this past spring on a new clinic facility. The new 16-room Tabitha Medical Clinic, will be eco-friendly, including solar panels, passive rainwater catchment, and recycled building materials. We hope that the clinic will serve as a model for appropriate building in other urban slum communities around the world.
