According to the Group’s Chairperson, Frank Jomo, health personnel at the clinic requested for the wheelchairs to ease mobility of patients that are too weak to walk when they come to the health center.

Jomo added that, as sons and daughters from Mbera, they felt duty bound to donate the wheelchairs because ever since the hospital was opened, there has not been any wheelchair to aid patients.

"This is the community that has raised us and when we were asked to help them with a wheelchair we felt duty bound to do that. This is the first time Mbera Health Centre has a wheelchair. We are a WhatsApp group comprising of sons and daughters of Mbera and our wish is to help in the socio-economic development of our area," said Jomo.

A medical assistant at the centre Gift Kunimba thanked the group for coming to the rescue of the centre. He said patients were being carried on the guardians back when coming out of ambulances or even within the walls of the health centre.

"We are humbled by this gesture. Without a wheelchair this health centre was incomplete and caused great inconvenience to patients. We will take good care of this donation because we don't want to disappoint the donors," said Kunimba.

This is the second time the group has donated at the health centre. On January 1 they also donated assorted items to the hospitals as well as groceries to patients.
