It is planned to create a new clinic at Iburu, start of this is the digging of well during the 2008 digging season.

The village head of Iburu donated a parcel of land for the clinic and our surveyor will soon go and measure the totalarea after which a sketch map will be produced. There is no existing building for the clinic and our architect has produced drawings of the proposed clinic.For this reason no well has been dug yet at Iburu.

All fund-rasing by the Coventry diocese for clinics will in future go towards this clinic.
