Residents of Starehe Constituency in Nairobi have undergone a free medical camp after a charity foundation donated over Sh3 million to facilitate the camps.
The foundation THX22 through its parent betting firm 22Bet Kenya said Sh1.6 million was handed over to Freedom Embassy church to fund the medical camp which targeted 700 people within the Starehe Sub-county.
The one-day camp that happened on June 15, 2024, offered screening for various diseases and initiated treatments including eye check-ups, screening for blood sugar levels and HIV/AIDS.
In a statement, the foundation said part of the money was used to purchase medicines to be dispensed free of charge to those who attended the medical camp.
According to the foundation, the donation is part of its broader strategy to engage with and uplift communities, ensuring aid reaches those who need it most.
