Health & Nutrition
At We Care CBO, we believe that community engagement and proactive healthcare interventions are key to improving health outcomes and fostering sustainable development.
A strong healthcare infrastructure is vital for societal advancement and progress. Enhanced health outcomes not only drive economic and social development but are also crucial for individual health and wellness.
Kenya has made significant progress in health indicators over the last twenty years. Nevertheless, these achievements are not evenly spread across the country. Rural regions, especially, grapple with ongoing obstacles including inadequate healthcare facilities, elevated mortality rates, poverty, adolescent pregnancies, restricted access to maternal and child health services and cultural barriers.
Our Approach
We Care CBO’s healthcare and nutrition program is committed to bringing healthcare directly to the communities and promoting health awareness among underprivileged populations. Our healthcare and nutrition initiatives revolve around five core focus areas:
1. Community Health Systems: We advocate for and implement the Community Health Strategy, engaging communities in health promotion, disease prevention and basic curative interventions.
2. Malnutrition: Our nutrition program focuses on preventing, identifying and treating malnutrition in children under 5 years. We integrate screening and treatment services into health facilities, collaborate with government agencies and work closely with Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) and early childhood development centers (ECDs).
3. Maternal, Newborn and Child Healthcare: Recognizing the unique needs of newborns, infants and expectant mothers, we provide comprehensive maternal and child health services. Our skilled personnel deliver community health education, antenatal care, emergency transportation, supervised delivery and postnatal care.
4. Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health: We prioritize the health and well-being of adolescents and youth by offering essential services tailored to their needs. Our interventions encompass sexual and reproductive health services, psychological counseling and bridging gaps in healthcare provision.
