Health and Nutrition

Charity brings to life again those who are spiritually dead.

Thomas Aquinas

Our health and nutrition programmes aim to educate communities about good nutrition and how to improve their general health. A healthy diet is important in helping to fight the symptoms of HIV/AIDS – an epidemic in Africa – and other diseases. Through a relief, rehabilitation, and development program we encourage and assist people who are unwell to regain their health and to get back on their feet after an illness.

Many areas in Kenya are in dire need of well-equipped health facilities. We work in partnership with local health departments in order to improve or build new hospitals and clinics so that adults and children have access to better quality healthcare.

Underdeveloped and under-resourced health facilities can be a barrier to development in a country. It generally denies children to benefit from education, denies mothers a safe pregnancy, and decreases life expectancy.

Our Projects

  • School health clubs: These are to empower the students on health and nutritional education that will help them improve in well-being and in their education too.
  • Feeding programs: Working together with county governments we are able to provide nutritious food to students in marginalized areas thus preventing malnutrition and hunger.
  • Maternal healthcare project: Citing the ever-dominant maternal and infant mortality rate especially in rural areas, education and provision of resources are necessary. This project is executed partly as a mobile technology where mothers and midwives are linked. We also offer training to traditional birth attendants, midwives, and healthcare workers on more safer and effective approaches to successful delivery.
