Our global partner is the Lwala Community Alliance. Located in a rural area in Western Kenya, this organization was founded by Kenyan brothers Milton and Fred Ochieng’, subjects of the documentary film “Sons of Lwala”. While the brothers were in college in the United States, they lost both of their parents to AIDS. Milton and Fred took this as a call to action to provide access to primary care in their home village and opened the Lwala Community Hospital, where more than 30,000 patient visits are provided each year. This body of work has grown significantly since 2007 to serve a population of more than 20,000 people and employ 180 Kenyans.
"The success of Lwala lies in the hands of our staff. A lack of onsite housing in the village affects the response time to emergencies and limits the ability to attract top medical staff needed as the demand in the community continues to grow. Having medical physicians onsite is an integral part of our growth." - Milton & Fred Ochieng
TB Cares has committed to partner with the Lwala Community Alliance in filling this need.
We were able to meet our goal to build one Multi-Family building that acts as Staff Housing for medical professional to live while they serve patients in the community's hospital. This Staff Housing allows over 20,000 people have 24-hour emergency care.
Sarah Tadlock and John Brueggemann visited the Lwala Community Alliance in Western Kenya this summer and attended the ceremonial cutting of the ribbon with members of the Lwala Community and Lwala Community Officials.
