At the end of 2019 we supported the training of a group of 29 Community awareness volunteers from Nanyuki Cancer Support Group. They are now on the front line working hard to care for, protect and improve the lives of their patients during the pandemic. The volunteers have become instrumental in raising awareness of Covid-19 and teaching the importance of frequent handwashing with soap is one of the ways they are helping to protect patients.
They are also working to ensure that patients in need of care do not go without, even when they are unable to visit health facilities. This is community awareness volunteer Pauline (left) visiting a cancer patient from Nanyuki Cancer Support Group in her home, providing support, helping her to stay safe and checking she is able to stick with her treatment.
