Africa Programs
Medical Camp
Our successful Medical Camp in November 2024 where we treated over 3000 people. Following this, the Taiba Foundation from Nairobi has agreed to partner with us to provide free surgery to all patients with Cleft Palate, Non-Cancerous Tumors and facial reconstruction in partnership with the local hospital. We have patients lined up for these operations by early February 2025 when, surgeons will come to perform these complex operations. We are also in the process of securing partnership with Brilliant Facets to offer free eye clinics to our communities and beyond.
Water Filters
In 2024, we distributed 1,890 Water Filters valued at US$189,000. We visited 76 villages within a 180kms radius with a total of 1,365 homesteads to check on the filters. Additionally, we hosted some training and ensured people were using the water filters correctly.
Trauma Informed High School
Our partnership with Just One Africa to build a Trauma Informed High School in our area has received a very substantial support. They have been able to meet the fundraising target of US$759,000 for the first phase of the project that will see the construction of the 600 student capacity high school. This is a vision that God gave us back in 2012 to develop a school that provides the highest possible academic standard within a trauma informed environment. It's also a place of healing and restoration for students who have come from various forms of abuses, who have come into our hands at the Hope Centre. Watch our Big Picture video here!
Kenya has experienced heavy amounts of rain and severe flooding. To date they have lost nearly 200 people with thousands left homeless and many houses submerged and uninhabitable. Olive Branch Africa has been involved in rescue efforts all over the area.
It is a challenge for Olive Branch Africa staff to even travel to the office due to critical infrastructure damage. Airports, roads, bridges, electrical lines have all been adversely affected due to dams failing and rivers overflowing their banks. Despite the desperate conditions, Olive Branch Mission remains on the frontlines assisting those in need. Our website here.
