Dear Friends of Caring Partners Global (CPG) and the Matangwe Project:

Today as Canadians we don a mask, wash our hands often and practice safe distancing. Daily life has changed for all of us and are likely to have stayed safe. Many of us have friends, family and neighbours who have struggled this year: with Covid, with isolation, with mental health, with work. This is a burden we share and we are ready to share something to feel really good about. How might we do that? One way is to express our appreciation for the frontline heroes who have been there for us this year. Another way is to pay it forward and help others – family, friends, neighbours and others. This Christmas we are asking you to lend a hand to others you are not likely ever know as well as your family, friends or neighbours.

In Kenya Covid-19 is yet another challenge where HIV, meningitis, malaria, cholera and a long list of other diseases are endemic.  CPG is committed to supporting the Matangwe Hospital, an 18-bed facility which serves 25,000 people.  The staff at Matangwe are our heroes. They have worked beyond the call and struggle to ensure their patients have personal protective equipment (PPE) during healthcare and patient outreach. We can tell our Matangwe heroes how much we appreciate what they do, but they also need our help.

We are seeking $10,000 to help procure PPE for Matangwe. Our frontline heroes in Matangwe need your support to work safely. They provide masks and sanitizer at area schools and workplaces when they provide outreach services; as well as supply their own patients and staff.

We have achieved so much already with your help and we thank you most sincerely.  When you send your gift today our Matangwe heroes can safely serve their community.

All of us at CPG wish you and your family a very happy and blessed Christmas and a safe and healthy 2021.
