Kenya faces a number of challenges in its health systems. Displacements, droughts, and limited infrastructure mean that millions of people—especially women and children—struggle to access quality healthcare.
SFH works hand-in-hand with communities, health authorities, and international partners to rebuild healthcare systems and ensure no one is left behind.
Training community health workers to provide first-line care and health education in remote villages.
Mobile clinics and rapid medical teams deployed during floods, droughts, and conflict-related displacement.
Working with UN agencies, INGOs, and local actors to maximize reach and sustainability of health programs.
Behind every statistic is a human story of resilience, courage, and hope. These stories highlight the lives changed through our health and nutrition programs across Kenya.
When Hodan went into labor with her third child, she began experiencing life-threatening complications. In her rural village outside Garissa, there was no doctor nearby, only a small health post with limited resources. Her family feared she would not survive the night.
Fortunately, a neighbor alerted an SFH-supported health facility a few kilometers away. The community quickly gathered to arrange transport, and within an hour Hodan was in the hands of trained midwives and emergency staff.
At the facility, Hodan received urgent care. The medical staff stabilized her condition, provided safe delivery, and ensured her newborn was healthy. Both mother and baby survived because life-saving interventions were available when she needed them most.
For Hodan, this experience changed her perspective. She realized how many women in her community lacked access to essential maternal health services and could lose their lives in childbirth.
Today, Hodan is a proud volunteer health advocate. She speaks in community forums, encouraging expectant mothers to seek antenatal care early and to deliver at safe, equipped facilities. Her story has inspired dozens of women in her village to prioritize their health and safety.
Mohamed, a young father and farmer, noticed that his son had become weak, thin, and lethargic. He feared for his child’s life as the signs of malnutrition became worse. Like many families in Turkana, Mohamed’s crops had failed due to prolonged drought, leaving little food at home.
Desperate, he brought his son to an SFH-supported Mobile Health and Nutrition Clinic. The clinic’s staff immediately recognized the signs of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and admitted the boy to their stabilization program.
For weeks, Mohamed’s son received therapeutic feeding and medical care, while Mohamed and his wife attended nutrition education sessions. They learned how to prepare nutritious meals using locally available resources and the importance of sanitation and hygiene.
Slowly but surely, Mohamed's son began to recover. His energy returned, he started to gain weight, and the light in his eyes came back. Mohamed’s family now has the knowledge and support they need to ensure their children remain healthy, even in times of food insecurity.
