to M.E.D.I.C.O. (Medical, Eye & Dental
International Care Organization) on a continuing
basis for distribution throughout Central America.
Since their inception, M.E.D.I.C.O. has made
over 100 medical trips to Honduras, many of
which have been supported by CMMB. In December
2007, CMMB donated approximately $4,700 worth
of primary medicines for a M.E.D.I.C.O mission
to Honduras. Throughout 2007, CMMB made 8 shipments

Kenya
Brother Robert Hoffman, of
Glenmary Home Missioners, hand-carries CMMB donated
medicines to the Kasamba Rural Health Project
in Kisumu, Kenya annually. This year, CMMB’s donation consisted of
much-needed vitamins and anitbiotics. Brother
Hoffman’s annual trips to Kenya last for
three months serving rural, poor populations
where few health services exist. In 2006, Brother
Hoffman spent his time in Kenya converting two
unused Catholic Churches into medical clinics.
CMMB has supported the efforts of Brother Hoffman
and the other contributors to the Kasamba Rural
Health Project with donations in 2006, 2007,
and 2008, totaling more than $45,000 worth of
medicines and supplies.
Zambia
Last month CMMB made a shipment
of primary healthcare medicines for the Chinyingi
Mission. Chinyingi is a Capuchin mission and
hospital in the sparsely populated North-Western
Province of Zambia.
Since the Capuchin Friar's, CMMB’s
local partner, presence in Zambia, the Chinyngi
Mission Hospital has increased the number of
beds from 100 to over 300. They work together
with the Daughters of the Redeemer Sisters to
provide medications, health screening programs,
woman's programs, and transportation of patients
to medical facilities. Together they are providing
much needed primary healthcare services in an
area where basic services are often life-saving,
but very limited.
