INUKA Rehabilitation Hospital Project – Operating Room / Surgical Ward / Equipment / Orthopedic Supplies Completed - June 2024

Both patients and staff need frequent prayer to undertake and sustain the arduous rehabilitation and healing routine at INUKA. Recent construction at INUKA has opened space in an existing building on the property. The INUKA team renovated, furnished, and converted this space into an onsite chapel that was finished in June 2024.

Phase 2 Grid outages continue to be a problem for the facility, and the solar backup system originally installed has not functioned properly. To resolve the issues, INUKA brought in a new firm, AG energies, to assess the issue. For this project phase, the consultant repaired the remaining solar power inverters and purchased new battery capacity to ensure the availability of day and night electricity. Phase 1 or the INUKA facility overall, we have also identified an additional issue with recent electrical grid blackouts that their solar system backup has not been able to overcome. Therefore, projects were initiated to correct the problem using the incremental funds raised for the building project. Funds were used to bring in a consultant, AG energies, to assess issues with the solar power system and make recommendations on how to improve the system. As a result, initial repairs were made to one solar power inverter, and we acquired a new diesel generator to provide another layer of backup power. Another project has been initiated for 2022 and 2023 to fully resolve the problem.

The New Roof is on! Parishioners of this small outstation church have been slowly raising funds on their own to build a new church building. The HFT board used a small amount of incremental funds raised over our goal to put a roof on their new building. The project is now complete.

Father Brad was in Tanzania in 2022 and documented his travels.
