tumaini mission hospital updates

May 2 Update - Look at the interior finishes! It’s getting close to our dedication ceremony on June 27!

April 2024

In less than three months, we launch new services at Tumaini Mission Hospital. The construction crew is working diligently to complete the final pieces in anticipation for the launch and dedication on June 27th, 2024. Interior finishes are being completed and the final coordination and hiring the extra critical staff that we will need to provide the services that our sponsored children and the community at large are so eagerly waiting for. THE BIGGEST NEEDS AT THIS STAGE OF THE HOSPITAL’S COMPLETION IS THE PURCHASE OF INITIAL EQUIPMENT NEEDED BY JUNE 27TH! IT WILL COST $500,000 TO PURCHASE THE INITIAL CRITICAL EQUIPMENT. I AM BOTH HUMBLED, GRATEFUL, AND EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT ONE OF OUR PARTNER FAMILIES RECENTLY DONATED $200,000 FOR THIS NEED! 

I am eternally grateful for your incredible generosity toward the completion of this worthy project.  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A DESIGNATED DONATION TOWARD PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT, PLEASE DO SO TODAY. Every DONATION of ANY SIZE will make an enormous difference.

The construction work for Tumaini Mission Hospital is going well.  The contractors are on target to complete the inner fittings and have everything ready for move-in during April 2024. The launch and dedication for the facility is set for June 27th, 2024. We would like to welcome you to witness the grand opening as well. For proper logistics, if you are planning to attend, please let us know, by March 31st, 2024.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to get us to this point. So far you have raised $546,487 in donations and pledges. However, we still need to raise the balance of $453,511 to reach the goal of $1,000,000 and ensure completion of the facility by the estimated date.

The construction work is on-going per schedule. With the completion of the super structure, the focus now is on dry walling, installation of windows, doors, top roofing, and other finishes. Incidentally, this stage of the construction requires a steady flow of cash. We want to thank those who are sending their support regularly, regardless of the amount. There is no small amount of money for this project. We are asking you to consider sending a donation TODAY to ensure that the work doesn’t stop.

We could not be happier with the substantial progress of this life changing project. Indeed, our dream of building a comprehensive hospital for the children and the communities that we serve is nearing a reality every day. Since we do not have the large building machines, the construction has been a labor-intensive endeavor, some days employing 100 laborers onsite! This progress has only been possible because a lot you have contributed financially. You are making a difference in the lives of thousands of people now and millions in the years to come. Thank you all! For those who pledged your 12-month support during our gala, thank you but keep it coming! The total estimated cost to complete the construction is $2,000,000.

June 2022

Masii,  Kenya, Wednesday June 22nd, 2022. It was such a joyous beautiful morning. Tumaini medical staff and a few invited guests gathered to dedicate and break ground for the expansion of Tumaini Mission Hospital in Kenya. This was such a joyous and historical moment for the organization. A momentous day to reflect on God’s past provisions and trust in him for this great life changing project. My wife Rose, Chris (Tumaini Board Chairperson, US), her husband Byron, and Susan (US Director of Programs) were all there to witness and participate.

And now the journey begins. I am trusting God to provide. I am calling on you to prayerfully consider participating in raising nearly two million dollars needed to complete this four-story building. This facility will be life-transforming for thousands of our sponsored children and their families. Beyond the immediate communities, this hospital will serve as a referral center in the region. Potentially we will serve millions of people with quality and affordable services for many years to come.
