Health workers at a maternal and newborn health training in Kajiado

Our programs

Health & Maternal Care

Universal access to basic healthcare, safe motherhood, and healthy newborns across rural Kenya.

The challenge

Why this work matters

The right to health is fundamental, yet many people, especially pregnant women and children, still cannot reach essential services. That drives high maternal mortality, child deaths, and infectious disease.

We work to ensure communities can access basic health services, and improve access to safe drinking water and hygiene facilities.

What we do

Our focus on the ground

  • Universal access to basic healthcare

    Through policy advocacy and capacity-building of health providers, plus community-based health assistance, we help families overcome the financial barriers to care.

  • Maternal, child & reproductive health

    We raise community awareness, build the capacity of service providers for mothers and infants, and promote healthy sexual & reproductive practices (MCH & SRH).

  • Safe water & sanitation for health

    We work with communities to secure sufficient safe water and to strengthen good hygiene and sanitary practices.

From the field

Maternal & Newborn Health (MNH) training

In October 2024 our MNH team ran a two-day workshop in Kajiado on Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR), training participants as Trainers of Trainers.

The workshop covered the leading contributors to the Maternal Mortality Ratio: post-partum haemorrhage, sepsis, obstructed labour, and eclampsia.
