From Goats to Growth: Young Women in Kiambu County Are Farming Their Way to a Safer, Stronger Future.

In Kinale Ward, Lari Sub County, a group of adolescent girls and young women are working towards economic resilience by farming and keeping goats for income.

Thanks to the by LVCT Health and Day Africa these young women received 18 dairy goats, 4 he-goats, animal feed, and hands-on training. They also got a secure goat pen to keep their animals safe and clean. Plus, the goat waste is being turned into natural manure to boost their farms!

This isn’t just about farming—it's about empowerment. Financial independence helps these young women make safer choices, reducing their risk of HIV and unintended pregnancies.

Linet, a participant of the DREAMS program, shares: “I’m happy for this initiative because I can now take care of my financial needs and aim to become the best goat farmer here!

One goat at a time, we’re growing a new generation of healthy, empowered women.

LVCT Health, through the USAID Stawisha Pwani project, joined national and county stakeholders at Tononoka Grounds to mark this year’s World Hepatitis Day under the theme "Let’s Break It Down"—a call to dismantle barriers to hepatitis prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

Dr. Patrick Amoth, the Director General for Health, highlighted that Africa bears a significant 63% of the global Hepatitis B burden, affecting over 64 million people and causing more than 124,000 deaths each year.

The event brought together representatives from The Ministry of Health Department of Health Services - Mombasa County, Division of National AIDS and STI Control Program, partner organizations, and local leaders at both county and community levels, reaffirming their commitment to hepatitis prevention, testing, treatment, and public education.

As part of the collective effort, the Ministry of Health and partners are developing a comprehensive strategy to integrate hepatitis services into routine healthcare with the view of ensuring nationwide access to vaccination, early diagnosis, and effective treatment.

Together, we are committed to raising awareness, promoting testing, and advocating for access to care.

Let’s unite for a hepatitis-free future!

📍 Kiambu County | Friday, 19th July 2025

Last week, LVCT Kenya, as part of the SHINE NIHR Consortium, participated in the SHINE Dissemination & Consultation Workshop held at Maxland Hotel, Kiambu. The workshop focused on disseminating and validating key research findings from Kiambu and Nairobi counties on the mental wellbeing and empowerment of Community Health Providers (CHPs).

The SHINE NIHR project—Strengthening Health Systems by Improving Community Health Workers’ Mental Wellbeing and Empowerment—aims to design practical, evidence-based solutions to support CHPs who form the backbone of Kenya’s primary healthcare system.

During the session, stakeholders came together to explore both quantitative and qualitative data, share insights through participatory group discussions, and co-create context-specific interventions that can be scaled and integrated into health systems.

This was not just a dissemination—it was a commitment to turning research into action. The outcomes from this engagement will inform the next phase of intervention design and policy advocacy to strengthen support structures for CHPs.

We are proud to partner with African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC), Department of Health Services - Kiambu County, and other stakeholders through the SHINE Consortium to amplify the mental wellbeing of frontline health workers and strengthen community health from the ground up.

Empowering Public Health Expertise in the Pwani Region

At LVCT Health, our USAID Stawisha Pwani project is committed to ensuring our healthcare professionals remain at the forefront of public health knowledge. To achieve this, we are currently conducting a comprehensive, three-day training program on Mpox. This vital training is designed for HTS and PrEP Technical Officers and supervisors across the four counties of Mombasa, Taita Taveta, Kilifi, and Kwale, equipping them with the latest information and skills to address this public health concern.

This specialized Mpox training will enable them to effectively screen for Mpox, implement prevention strategies, and ensure timely referrals of suspected Mpox cases for proper management. By equipping them with this knowledge, we are strengthening our collective ability to address emerging public health threats and safeguard the well-being of the communities we serve.

Together, we're building a healthier and more resilient coastal region!

Empowering Nurses, Protecting Mothers!

We’re proud to have sensitised 25 nurses at Igegania Level 4 Hospital in Kiambu County on PrEP programming — a crucial step in protecting pregnant and breastfeeding women from HIV.
