IDCCS is a faith based organization founded in1997 to undertake
Community development work to improve quality of lives of the people in Nyanza region.

OGANDE TANGNETUO CBHF SCHEME
Founded in June 2003 by a group of 68 members paying registration fees of KES. 50/=
The word Tangne Tuo means “to be prepared before a bad situation”. After training facilitation by IDCCS the members saw the need to set aside a fund that would enable them access care in the event that they would fall sick. They also understood among them that there is a possibility of many of them not being sick within the year and so it would be encouraging to contribute for another member who would be sick and not have adequate funds to meet medical claims.
The members have been benefiting from the year 2005 and they are linked to Ogande mission hospital which is a KM away from the Scheme.

Governance
The scheme is governed by elected executive committee members who comprise of the chair person, vice chairperson secretary, vice secretary, treasurer and 7 mobilizers who are representatives from each village.
They have a written constitution that governs their daily activities. They have monthly general meetings in which contributions are made and new members are introduced to the others. They also have EXCO meetings called by the executive and finally an AGM that is held once annually.

Membership
To date the scheme has a membership of 80 people with each member contributing having nominating 3 children under the age of 18 years as a beneficiary.
The scheme has a target population of over 10,000 people in the community and through well organized mobilization strategy intends to reach the whole community.

Human resource
The scheme has a group of 7 voluntary mobilisers/promoters who are representative of the villages. Their duty is tocreate awareness in the community and to also collect members’ contributions which are then disbursed to the treasurer.
The executive committee members do all the day to day duties of the scheme which include information dissemination, collecting member contributions, member registration, payment and verification of claims and calling for meetings
The management works on a voluntary basis and IDCCS has given them training on relevant issues to manage the scheme. The major challenge here is that CBHF is a very technical issue that needs technical competency which the management is yet to acquire.
