What We Do

Our work is guided by the health challenges we see in our own communities. We focus our energy where we can make the deepest impact.

Programme areas

Four focus areas, one aim

Each programme responds to a health challenge we see in Uasin Gishu every day. Jump to an area below.

Programme 01 · Young people

Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health

Too often, conversations about sexual and reproductive health are silenced by stigma, leaving young people to navigate some of life's most consequential decisions without accurate information. We create safe, open, and respectful spaces where adolescents can ask questions, learn, and access the services they need to protect their futures.

  • Adolescents
  • Stigma-free spaces
  • Access to services
Programme 02 · Wellbeing

Mental Health Awareness

From postpartum depression to youth mental health, we work to break the silence around mental illness. We build community understanding, reduce stigma, and connect people to support before crises take hold.

  • Postpartum depression
  • Youth mental health
  • Reducing stigma
Programme 03 · Prevention

Drug and Substance Abuse Prevention

Alcohol, tobacco, kuber, and other substances are taking a heavy toll on our youth, with devastating knock-on effects on mental health and family stability. We work with young people, families, and community leaders on prevention, awareness, and pathways to recovery.

  • Alcohol, tobacco and kuber
  • Families and leaders
  • Pathways to recovery
Programme 04 · Chronic conditions

Lifestyle Disease Prevention

Diabetes, hypertension, and other lifestyle diseases are on the rise in our communities. Through education and awareness campaigns, we empower community members to understand risk factors, adopt healthier habits, and manage chronic conditions with confidence.

  • Diabetes
  • Hypertension
  • Healthier habits
Our approach

How We Work

01

Community-Centred

We do not arrive with pre-packaged solutions. We listen first, co-design our programmes with the communities we serve, and involve them in every stage of delivery. The community is not the audience. It is the partner.

02

Evidence-Based

Every piece of health information we share is grounded in current, credible evidence. We take our responsibility to be a trusted source seriously.

03

Empowerment Through Information

We believe people make safer choices when they have accurate information delivered without judgement. Our role is to equip, not to prescribe.

04

Integrity

We are honest about what we know, what we don't know, and what we can and cannot do. That honesty is the foundation of the trust our communities place in us.
