ANIDAN ACHIEVEMENTS
BEGINNING
Anidan embarked on its mission in 2002 with twelve children in Torre Esquivias, a rented house in the center of Lamu. Since then, 550 children have passed through the shelter and today more than 290 are still there. It is a unique space for coexistence that offers the children comprehensive help.
Pablo Hortsmann Hospital of Anidan has attended more than 135,000 consultations in primary care, in addition to multiple medical campaigns, mainly surgeries, since it opened its doors in 2007.
Today it sees more patients than many provincial hospitals in Spain and its greatest achievement has been to reduce the infant mortality rate from 12 percent to 4 percent.

ANIDAN SCHOOL
Anidan School opened its doors in 2002. Today it is Lamu County’s leading in terms of academic results and the one with the largest number of students with higher education.
Since 2007, Anidan has been receiving many refugees suffering from droughts and fighting in the Horn of Africa, especially from the Orma and Borana tribes from Somalia, who have been integrated as part of the family. Today the number of refugees in the project accounts for 30 percent of the members of the house.
REFUGEES
HEALTH PERSONNEL
We offer training to native Lamu health workers so that there is a local health team that is learning to treat many pathologies that we now take care of.
