A Charity in Kenya : The Cherry Clinic was set up in 2007 by Cherry Watt, a retired UK nurse/midwife in Mamboleo , one of the most deprived and needy rural areas of Kisumu, Kenya. There is a high percentage of malnutrition, malaria and HIV/Aids. Some of the local people joined together and purchased land with scenic views to build a new medical Clinic in the Mamboleo area and help is needed to do this.
