Maternal and Child Health Clinics

Our health program continues to demonstrate impressive successes. The team held an average of 30 maternal and child health clinics and 36 mobile clinics each month, reaching over 7,000 mothers with health education.

We are helping mothers and youth plan their lives through health education and provision of family planning.

Our clean drinking water program continues to be successful in 200 schools, reaching 45,000 children. With 12 new schools being built over the last 3 years, we were able to install clean drinking water tanks and hand washing stations in each of them this year. Additionally, we continue to deliver soap for hand washing to schools each term to reduce the stomach illnesses in children and their teachers.

HopeCore's health services are now offered to over 100,000 women and children in and around Chogoria.  

Here are some more 2017 highlights: 

• Distributed over 2,000 long-lasting, insecticide treated mosquito bed nets
• Had almost 2,000 visits to the office-based Youth Center
• Distributed 460 reusable and disposable sanitary pads to girls, and provided health education to each one of them

We have big plans for 2018! Below are some of our new goals: 

• Recruit, train, and manage 50 new neighborhood-based community health workers
• Establish HopeCore Health Coordinator teachers in 170 schools in Maara Sub County, ensuring health messages are constantly reinforced and children are healthier
• Ensure 70% of children in schools are drinking clean water and washing their hands before and after meals
• Distribute 5,000 long-lasting, insecticide treated, mosquito bed nets
• Establish a learning resource center for the community at HopeCore's Chogoria office
