Washing Machine Project

Thanks to the generous donations of our friends & supporters, we have enough funds to order the new commercial washing machine for the hospital. However, we have now been informed that the government in Burundi is going to charge us $6,000 in taxes on it. 

We do not have these funds on hand. Would you consider making a donation by the end of September to help with this unexpected expense? 

Donations can be sent to Friends of Kibimba Hospital, c/o Connie Young, 3220 S. Oak St., Wichita, KS 67217. Thank you!
