AMS Projects
Check out some of our recent projects via our Instagram photos.
We’re getting closer!
Cleanup has begun, the first coat of finish paint is on, T&G ceilings are complete, and the window panes are almost all in—bringing our new Outpatient Center to life step by step.
We’re hopeful to open mid-year and begin serving even more patients in this new space.
Thank you to everyone who has made this possible—through your time, your skills, and your generosity. This building is a reflection of so many hands and hearts coming together. Thank you!!

We’re so grateful for Collegedale Academy, who joined the AMS team for a second year in a row earlier this month!
Even while braving the early rains, their team accomplished so much:
🔨 Sanding, varnishing, and installing T&G ceiling boards at our new outpatient center
🧱 Laying bricks for a new washroom and toilet at Kensington Girls High School
🌧️ Installing gutters on the newest dorm to support rainwater catchment
Their hard work and resilience have left a lasting impact—creating safer, more functional spaces for both patients and students. We are truly thankful for their continued partnership and heart to serve.

The Outpatient Center is coming along nicely with a projected opening date of July of this year. Terrazzo is now in - will have final scrub and polishing once painting is done, the T&G ceilings are almost done (thank to a group from CA working on it this week), window panes are being installed and painting is to continue next week.
Thank you to all who have supported this project!! We can’t wait to see it open and serving this community. ❤️🩹

Last month we were grateful to host an incredible mission team from Florida led by Belinda.
During their time with us, the team traveled to five different villages, providing medical care to over 100 patients each day. Their compassion and dedication helped bring much-needed healthcare closer to families who often have very limited access to services.
At the same time, the team helped screen patients for cataracts in preparation for our upcoming June cataract surgery clinic, identifying patients who will soon receive life-changing treatment.
Thank you, Belinda and the entire team, for serving with such generosity and heart. We are truly grateful for your partnership and the impact you made in our community.

Happy International Women’s Day!
Today we celebrate the strength, compassion, and dedication of the incredible women who make our community stronger every day.
From the resilient Maasai mothers who bring new life into the world, to the skilled healthcare providers who care for families with dedication and compassion, to the generous women from around the world who have volunteered their time and hearts at our center — each plays a powerful role in improving the health and future of this community.
We are grateful to stand alongside such remarkable women.
Strong mothers. Dedicated providers. Generous volunteers. Strong communities.
Happy International Women’s Day!

This week, @travelatin23 —one of our dedicated medical providers—spent a day at the local primary school teaching children the importance of handwashing, understanding germs, and how diseases spread. 🧼👐
He even created wonderful visual posters written in the local Maa language for the school to display and continue learning from.
Thank you, Elvis, for going above and beyond to invest in the health and education of our children!
