Donate Now!
By donating to Xellia’s Annual Fundraising Event, 2019 you can ensure that the laboratory in SOS Medical Centre Eldoret will get a new biochemistry machine for pathological testing especially targeted at vulnerable families and their children. And thereby save lives!
Primary beneficiaries of the new biochemistry machine
Patients from vulnerable families in and around Eldoret – and families enrolled in the family strengthening programme in Eldoret supported by Xellia – with chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, children with rheumatic heart diseases and SOS children who are on long-term medication and need to undergo organ function tests periodically to ensure that the disease and the chronic medication do not damage the vital organs.
The collection target
Our target for Xellia’s Annual Fundraising Event, 2019 is to fundraise at least 150,000 DKK (22,300 USD)* which will ensure that the clinic gets a new and modern machine for pathological testing and that the medical staff at the laboratory gets the technical training they need to use the new machine.
* If Xellia’s Annual Fundraising Event, 2019 exceeds the target of 150,000 DKK, the donations will be earmarked for promoting and securing healthcare targeted at vulnerable children in other ways in Eldoret through the SOS Medical Centre and the local SOS Family Strengthening Programme already supported by Xellia.

THE HISTORY OF THE ANNUAL FUNDRAISING COLLECTION
In 2015 all donations went to the SOS Primary School in Eldoret, Kenya to ensure that some of the most vulnerable children in Kenya could attend school and make a better future for themselves.
In 2016 all donations went directly to scholarships for the SOS Secondary School in Eldoret, ensuring that children from a poor background got a chance to continue go to school.
In 2017 Xellia employees helped the young generations from Eldoret, Kenya by giving them the opportunity of getting a higher education after Secondary School, which will allow them to live an autonomous life as adults.
In 2018 Xellia employees helped young women and men from vulnerable families in Eldoret by giving them the opportunity of technical and vocational training, business start-up support and life skills training sessions.
