Koroboi Foundation newsletter - August 2025
Sharing together, with love
–
Dear friends, donors and stakeholders,
We hope you are doing well. Through this newsletter, we would like to bring you up to date again on what has happened around Koroboi Foundation in the past few months and what is planned for the coming period.
🛏️ Project beds completed - a first milestone!
In 2024, we launched the first "building block" in our project approach: the improving departments of the hospital in Kibara. Following the earlier purchase of beds for the maternity ward (December 2024), there are now also new beds installed in other wards of the hospital, including mattresses, mosquito nets and lockable lockers.
The images speak volumes: more comfort, more hygiene, more dignity. A huge step forward!
And that is entirely thanks to your help. Thanks to donations from our Supporting parish in Switzerland, the Caritas of Soest and Amersfoort, the Amersfoort joint diaconates, Kimberly-Clark, Verkade, many private donors and the great sponsorship by Casper Kimman, we were able to realise this project.

In June, Casper ran the Amsterdam half triathlon for Koroboi. What an achievement - and what a result! His action raised a wonderful amount of money that went entirely to the bed campaign. A short video of his sporting day can be seen on our website and YouTube channel. Highly recommended!
🔜 Looking ahead: on to Valencia
Having successfully completed this first phase, we are now preparing for the next steps. From Kibara, we received a list of urgent new medical equipment and resources to be acquired and replaced, especially for the operating theatre, laboratory and maternity ward.
To decide on this properly and carefully, we as a board travel in September to Valencia. There we meet:
- Bishop Simon of Bunda, chairman of the hospital board
- His assistant and secretary, Maria Almudena
- And Pedro Bayarri of the University of Valencia
The university has been working with the hospital in Kibara for some time, including on a nice project around child therapy and occupational therapy. This meeting is a valuable opportunity for us to make concrete plans together for the short and medium term.
The cost of this trip we as a board will of course take for its own account.

We will keep you updated on the outcome of this meeting and the next steps we will take with the hospital through blogs and a subsequent newsletter.
For now: thank you for your trust, support and commitment. We feel carried in this mission to make a difference together - for Kibara, for care, for people.
Kind regards,
Koroboi Foundation
