The floods issue has not been solved yet and the community continue to struggle to make ends meet something which is not easy considering the many challenges they are facing. Our well wishers has fundraised some money to buy community boat which is currently being used by the Kokwa community and mainly assisting school going children as previously reported, the Island was divided by water into two making it difficult for them to close to attend school on the other side. This boat has been very useful to the community as they can now cross the lake with ease without them paying for the services. This is a big step ahead and the community members are very happy and thank all the well wishers who have heard their cry. The temporary dispensary is still useful to the community although with very many challenges as it cannot offer all the necessary services that the community requires but still helping in its own limited means. For the maternity and other major services the community members have to be referred to other major hospitals in the county but sometimes it’s difficult for them to go due to high charges and transport challenges. We hope that our government and well-wishers will join hands to assist this community to put up dispensary structures which will help improve the situation.
