Intent on reducing neonatal and maternal mortality in Todonyang, we work with women to raise awareness about the importance of regular clinical monitoring during their pregnancies. This service is provided both in our clinic or by our mobile clinic and seeks to prevent possible difficulties that may arise during pregnancy.

This initiative works towards detecting, assisting and monitoring patients suffering from problems derived from malnutrition. In most of these cases, the patients are HIV positive, notably minors, who need to be well fed in order to be able to take the medicines that help combat the virus. Working in coordination with the Government of Kenya, we provide patients with food (maize, beans, rice, sugar, meat, watermelon, milk) and medicines in order to contribute to improve their quality of life.

We train our clinic’s medical staff and also organise training sessions for non-professional caregivers, as well as for traditional healers who work in the region. During these sessions, we instruct them on how to identify diseases such as polio, measles or tetanus so that they can be prepared to recognise them when they are on-field working in isolated communities. In addition, we teach and apprise them on the importance of taking the patients to the clinic.
