What if every caregiver left the hospital confident in supporting their loved one’s recovery at home?

That's the vision behind the work of Noora Health and their partners, featured in this compelling AP photo essay. The story follows two families navigating new parenthood with the critical health skills gained during their hospital stay. It’s a powerful example of the transformation that is possible when families are recognized and supported by health systems.

Pictures speak a thousand words, and this photo essay by AP on our Care Companion Program is a powerful portrait of how caregiver support can transform health systems.

From the nurses who turn hospital hallways into classrooms, to the tender moments of care among families, these images capture the heart of our vision: healthier communities built on love and the confidence of knowledge.

How do we make community health systems sustainable for the long term?

At Living Goods, we believe governments are best placed to lead. That’s why since 2019, we’ve been co-financing and co-implementing community health programs with counties in Kenya, gradually reducing our financial contribution while strengthening government ownership.

The results speak for themselves:
✅ 30% reduction in maternal mortality in Kisumu County
✅ Child mortality dropped by 39%
✅ Vihiga County doubled its co-financing—from $800K in 2023 to $1.6M in 2024
✅ More than 5,000 CHWs now professionalized with digital tools, training, and stipends

Our co-financing model shows what’s possible when governments lead and partners walk alongside them.
