Kuumba Kenya is a project of volunteer activities focused on health care that was born with the motto that many small people, doing small things, can change the world. This project is formed by 11 students of 3rd year of Nursing together with the teachers Maider Belintxon and Inmaculada Serrano.

"Maider was the one who proposed to us the challenge to go to the high school María Chege Educational Center in Ongata-Rongai (Kenya) and we signed up to carry it out", says María Jiménez, one of the volunteers. She was joined in the initiative by Begoña Sánchez-Ostiz, María Balado, Roncesvalles Barainca, Carmen de Sebastián, Mireia Salvador, Patricia Pérez, Ander Vega, Irene Rúa-Figueroa, Irene María Centeno and Mónica Navarro.

It is a service-learning project as the students have not only wanted to travel to help materially but, with their knowledge in nursing, they have been able to elaborate a very detailed health plan. The goal of the trip is to help more than 90 children, parents and teachers through physical, family and emotional assessments; Education in first aid and basic habits of hygiene and healthy living.

For all this, it has been necessary a lot of sanitary material that the students have obtained thanks to the NGO financial aid Contenedores, to the Simulation Center of the School de Enfermería and to a campaign in social networks and crowfunding. The idea they have is to leave there all the material possible to create a storeroom that the high school can use during the course.
