Members come from the Small Christian Communities. Currently, more than a hundred members visit the sick, in pairs, in three sprawling parishes in Mombasa West. The project director is Brother John Mullen, a Maryknoll Missionary, assisted by several Sisters of St. Joseph and Mrs. Elizabeth Mugo, a pioneer member and social worker of long standing, who assists with the training of new volunteers. The Wahuduma visit the sick in their homes. They offer medicine, support, and referrals for the more delicate cases.
Counselling is an integral part of the programme food is offered in more needy cases.
They do not offer treatment, but care for the sick materially and spiritually. The programme has done very well in all the parishes where it has been implemented, since its inception in 1996 in Bomu parish. With an initial twenty-five volunteers serving a similar number of patients, the programme has now grown to include five trained nurses, two counsellors, and more than a hundred volunteers, who have undergone training in primary health care and counselling. This is apart from other illnesses. On 26 February 2000, the Wahuduma organised a one-day seminar for all its members at Star of the Sea Residence, Mombasa.
