The Baraka Health Clinic is situated in the Narok South District of Kenya and serves approximately 40,000 community members.The clinic was established by Free The Children to help increase primary health care for the Maasai, Kipsigis and Kisii communities. The permanent health clinic was an extension to, and works in conjunction with, an earlier established mobile health care unit that serves all of Free The Children’s Adopt a Village communities.
