It costs $5 to provide health care for each child under 5 years old in Ileret, Northern Kenya, through the Turkana Basin Institute (TBI) mobile clinic. The mobile clinic travels over 18,000 Km per year, and treats an average of 55 children per week!!

Since the Ceres Charitable Foundation will MATCH every dollar raised... This means a $35 donation will save NOT 7, BUT 14 CHILDREN PER DAY!!

Your donation will cover the costs of a nurse, drugs, immunizations, fuel, food, water, education sessions for the parents, and maintenance costs for the mobile van.
