🌍 🩺 Achieving the best possible health outcomes requires a well-trained, highly motivated healthcare workforce capable of providing quality healthcare that meets community needs and proactively responds to challenges before they arise.

Our work over the years, has demonstrated that when healthcare workers are adequately supported and equitably distributed, the health of communities is significantly improved.

🗓 Today, through our project, we successfully conducted a four-day intensive training on the WHO-recommended Workload Indicators of Staffing Needs (WISN) methodology.

WISN is a proven, systematic tool developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to help health facilities and policymakers determine the optimal number of health workers needed to deliver quality care.

By empowering health managers and planners with practical, hands-on skills, we are paving the way for smarter staffing decisions, leading to improved efficiency and enhanced service delivery across facilities in .

Together, we are building stronger, more responsive health systems that meet real-world workload demands for improved health outcomes across populations we serve. 💪🏥

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

In Kinale Ward, Lari Sub County, a group of adolescent girls and young women are transforming their lives through farming and goat rearing, building pathways toward economic resilience.

Thanks to our and Day Africa, these young women received 18 dairy goats, 4 he-goats, animal feed, and comprehensive hands-on training. They also benefitted from a secure goat pen, ensuring their animals stay safe and clean. The goat waste is being effectively converted into natural manure, enriching their farms and boosting their productivity.

This initiative isn’t just about agriculture; it’s about empowerment. Achieving financial independence enables these young women to make safer choices, reducing their risk of HIV and unintended pregnancies.

Linet, a participant of the program, shares her experience: “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, these young women are cultivating a new generation of healthy, empowered individuals, paving the way for a brighter future.
