Ecolyx has sent guests to for over 13 years. It was one of our first, handpicked beach destinations and today we are happy to call the amazing staff and owners our friends ❤️. This is a truly amazing place where you are being welcomed as a guest rather than a tourist. Apart from being a relaxed barefoot luxury retreat, Kinondo Kwetu’s charm comes in part from the surrounding community and the town of Kinondo, where many of the hotel’s staff live. Interaction with the local community is important for the hotel.
The Kinondo Kwetu Clinic started in November 2008. The clinic offers basic health checks and various treatments – and all at prices that most locals can actually pay. The clinic is also known for its work with HIV-infected and patients with tuberculosis. Kinondo Kwetu Hospital has improved the general health of the community within Kinondo villages;
- All babies are immunized.
-The mortality rate among mothers, infants and children has gone down significantly.
- Pregnant women come for antenatal visits to the center, which has reduced the number of stillbirths .
- There are no more home deliveries in Kinondo.
- Malaria infections are cured and do not result in death, unless there is complication caused by another disease.
- Patients suffering from HIV, TB and diabetes are treated, resulting in a great improvement of their life quality.
- Babies born by HIV-positive mothers are not infected and stay negative.
- The jigger parasite that causes fatigue and pain among the school-going children, has been almost extinguished.
So when choosing to visit Kinondo Kwetu, you also contribute to the local community. ❤️
