Health gives perspective – education opens up the future

To mark our 25th anniversary, we ran a stand at the May market in Altstätten. We were able to welcome many market guests and tell them how well our Medical Centre in Kenya has developed within a short space of time. The recently opened maternity ward attracted particular interest. We would like to buy an incubator so that we can hopefully save premature babies soon.

The May market raised 2780 francs in donations. Mea Blöchlinger alone contributed 1080 Swiss francs.. As part of a school project, the secondary school pupil filled a suitcase with goods she had made herself and sold them at our stand.

Mea generously handed over the proceeds to our treasurer Eveline Alder. We would like to thank you for your great interest and every contribution. The fundraising campaign for the incubator continues. The target is 5000 Swiss francs. You are welcome to participate here.

Ich lebe in Heerbrugg und arbeite als Redaktorin bei der Galledia Regionalmedien AG in Berneck. Nachdem wir das Spital in Kasambara-Gilgil schliessen mussten, ergab sich in der Kooperation mit Schilling für Shilling eine neue Chance. Im Oktober 2022 reiste ich erneut ins Land und feierte die Eröffnung des «Rhein-Valley Hospital Healthcenters» bei der Schule Maji Moto mit. Nun möchte ich möglichst vielen Menschen vermitteln, wie der Rheintaler Verein Grosses bewirken und Hoffnung schenken kann.
