Outreach of the Month—Kissy UMC Hospital, Freetown, Sierra Leone

At the Kissy UMC hospital in Sierra Leone, the municipal water system is rationed. No water at least four days a week is a reality at the 100 bed general hospital. St. Luke’s October Outreach project is addressing this need. With other partners, we hope to raise $50,000 to provide a drilled well for the compound, new piping between buildings, increased storage for outage time and repair and replacement of plumbing throughout the hospital. You can donate to this cause by noting “Kissy Hospital” in the memo line of your check and dropping it in the offering basket. Thank you for your support.
