Health - Over 300 Medical Screenings/Camps
Dr. Amos Otedo, Dr. Colleta and medical team, have already conducted many medical screening events in the wider communities and Victory Christian School (VCS) building. This involves management of acute illnesses and screening of communicable diseases (CDs) including Hepatitis viruses and non-communicable diseases (NCDs)
Education - Impacting Children Since 2009
We have 700+ students enrolled in the school. Many of these children and their families previously have had very little hope for the future. The impact of educating these children since 2009 is already staggering as they bring faith, life and hope back into their homes where poverty is normal.
