About

Kisii Kenya

“We then split into small groups and went to the women’s homes to build “tippy taps” — a simple handwashing device designed to help keep the women and their babies healthy. Working alongside the mothers, we were able to build four tippy taps in the village. I felt deeply honored to see where these women live, hear about their experiences, and play a small part in making their homes a little healthier.” Volunteer Lily shares her experiences on the ground with us in Kisii County, Kenya.

"The hums of motorbikes and brays of grazing cows pervade the bustling community of Kisii, a town of over 100,000 nestled in the hilly highlands of western Kenya. For the next six weeks, I will be working as a project intern with the Kisii Konya Oroiboro Project (KIKOP)—a community led organization that aims to address maternal and child mortality through facilitating peer-to-peer Care Groups of mothers, home visits to monitor the wellbeing of mothers and their children, youth education programming, and strengthening of the existing healthcare system to support maternal, child, and reproductive health. As I transition to life seven hours ahead of North Carolina, I’ve noticed that KIKOP has been going through a few transitions of its own."

“Spending a month in Kisii, Kenya, with the Kisii Konya Oroibo Project (KIKOP) was far more than a volunteer opportunity; it was the defining moment where I discovered my passion for public health.”

Impact Global Health Alliance recognizes the important role that breastfeeding plays in childhood nutrition and development and maternal bonding. All of our programs include education on immediate and exclusive breastfeeding, including nutritional support for nursing mothers. Recent numbers from our program areas in Kenya show that, among our program participants, 💙 97% of breastfeeding mothers were still exclusively breastfeeding (EBF) at 3 months 💚 89% of women interviewed at their 6-month wellness visit reported that they practiced EBF during their first 6 months of motherhood 💙 97% of nursing mothers reported eating 2+ extra meals per day to support their own nutrition Pictured: In Guatemala, new mothers receive educational support during a Circle for Breastfeeding Mothers meeting. #WorldBreastfeedingWeek #SustainableStart

Do you have dreams of a bountiful spring garden? So do women in Kisii County, Kenya - but instead of bright blooms, they’re growing vegetables to provide their children with extra nutrition. Learn more about the kitchen gardens sprouting up in our service communities: https://impactglobalhealthalliance.org/blooming-in-care/

In rural Kenya, community-based care and trained health workers are changing what’s possible for mothers and newborns. Since 2018, child deaths have declined by 85%, helping 231 children survive and families stay together. Because care is local and community-led, about 38 additional children survive each year. Thank you for being part of this work.
