Good News and News to Ponder!

Good News:  we are 75% towards the total amount of $15000 in matching funds toward Kudvumisa's dental clinic! Please help us meet the final goal! the main clinic renovation under the Rotary grant is winding down. We estimate substantial completion in a month! projected full funding for equipping the clinic through Project CURE was reached and we are hoping to begin working with Project CURE staff to facilitate a site visit and the process of developing an equipment list: then filling a shipping container to send over. News to Ponder:  US government funding has basically come to an end for the mobile outreach, while dwindling year to year, this year saw the most drastic cuts with tremendous increases in targets.  We saw these targets as unreachable. We have negotiated reduced targets with the greatly reduced funding. While Kudvumisa has subsidized salaries (through generous donations by our friends like you) over the years of the grants, the dwindling grants made this more and more impractical.  With great sadness we did not renew any contracts for the project staff. We will re-look at reduced staffing and reduced salaries in the coming months for the mobile outreach. Our nurses will be kept on staff to continue to provide access to HIV care for the population that has come to rely on Kudvumisa's CHIPS program over the years. Sustainability:  sustainability of the mobile health outreach and the health clinic have always been our goal, but with the removal of grant support this becomes even more critical now. the renovation of the Guest House has slowed as we await more funds to complete the construction. The Guest House would provide a place for visiting teams to stay while providing income to the health projects. we are working on the commercial development on the property, securing letters of intent from key leaseholders/anchor tenants as we work towards a business plan that is viable that can be be presented with the hope of securing financing for the project. The commercial development would provide both local employment and also a long term sustainable source of income to fund the clinic and mobile outreach.
