Mobile Clinic

A mobile clinic was first initiated in 1999 when Shanni Wreford-Smith approached the trustees of The Mpala Wildlife Foundation with her vision to create mobile clinic services to surrounding communities who were clearly in need of humanitarian assistance. The original owner of the ranch, George Small agreed to purchase a vehicle and allow the clinic to establish its home base on Mpala ranch. Soon, the Mpala Community Trust and its outreach arm, the Mpala Mobile Clinic were established.

Since then, the program has moved beyond Mpala Ranch into central and north Laikipia and has subsequently absorbed the activities of the Mpala Community Trust (MCT) into the Community Health Africa Trust (CHAT).

CHAT is a well-run Community Based Organization that provides reliable health services, education and counseling, basic curatives, immunizations, and reproductive health education to the underserved people of the Laikipia region of Northern Kenya.
