The MV Lady Jean arrives in Mwanza!
The MV Lady Jean has arrived safely into Mwanza, completing the final leg of its journey from the UK.
This new vessel will provide an additional 50,000 consultations each year through the Jubilee Hope Medical Programme. A significant part of this ship’s work will be to create a new supply chain of life-saving medication (antiretrovirals) for people living with HIV, as well as to enhance existing testing, counselling and treatment services provided by the Programme.
The MV Lady Jean had quite the journey to reach its final destination. First it was transported by sea to Mombasa, Kenya. The next stage saw the ship transported by road to Kisumu and from there, she sailed south across Lake Victoria to Mwanza, Tanzania.
We look forward to sharing more updates with you once the ship is in action!
