Charity with Dignity || Patron: Senator Moses Otieno Kajwang’

30/09/2026

We end September at Hope Special School, a government institution in Homa Bay County providing inclusive education, care and rehabilitation to learners with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Following our previous visit and the promise made by our Patron Senator Moses Otieno Kajwang last term, our team returned to deliver the uniforms.

We identified colours , played with balloons, kicked the ball around, listened to music and danced!

A doctor was also on hand to conduct medical assessments and attend to learners who needed medical attention.

A beautiful way to close the month - with service, connection, laughter and joy.

We came to give.
We stayed to connect.
And we left with full hearts.

RUN FOR HER. SAVE HER LIFE.

We joined the Department Of Health - Homabay County, The CSO Network and community to raise awareness on postpartum haemorrhage and the urgent need to protect mothers.

When a baby is born, the celebration often centres on the baby. Let us not forget the mother who carried that baby.

For the women who made it home.
For those who didn't.
And for every woman who will one day sit in that delivery room, trusting that she will be safe.

Awareness. Early recognition. Prompt action. Quality maternal healthcare.

Today, we ran for her.
For every mother. For every family waiting for her to come home.

WORLD CONTRACEPTION DAY | WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DAY

We join the world in highlighting two issues that directly shape the health and wellbeing of our communities: reproductive health and environmental health.

Contraception is not simply about preventing pregnancy. It is about information, choice, dignity and the ability to make informed decisions about your reproductive future.

And sometimes, the questions are simple but we don't always have safe spaces to ask them:

🔹 What contraceptive methods are available?
🔹 What are the possible side effects?
🔹 Can contraception affect future fertility?
🔹 What happens when I decide to stop?
🔹 What options are available for men?
🔹 Where can I get confidential counselling?
🔹 What if my partner does not support my choice?

These conversations must include men too.

Family planning is a shared responsibility. That means:

✔️ Male responsibility in family planning
✔️ Condom use for pregnancy and STI prevention
✔️ Supporting partners to make informed choices
✔️ Making decisions about pregnancy together
✔️ Preventing sexually transmitted infections
✔️ Building relationships grounded in respect, communication and consent

At the same time, the environment around us matters. Clean water, proper sanitation, safe waste management, clean air and healthy surroundings are fundamental to our wellbeing.

We believe that healthier communities are built when people have the knowledge, services and support they need to make informed choices - while living in environments that protect their health.

Healthy people. Healthy families. Healthy communities. Healthy environments.

“Africa must no longer be an equipment graveyard.”

That was one of the strongest messages from Dr. Joe Lenai, Director for Primary Healthcare, Preventive and Promotive Health at the Ministry of Health, as he officially opened WHX Nairobi 2026 at KICC.

A statement that made us pause and reflect on the healthcare systems (especially equipment and diagnostics ) in Kenya, and Africa at large.

Who will maintain them?
Where will the spare parts come from?
Who will be trained to operate and repair them?
Will they work reliably in rural and underserved facilities?

Dr. Lenai called for stronger partnerships between governments, healthcare providers and manufacturers - partnerships that include maintenance, technical training, technology transfer and long-term support.

As an entity focusing on community wellness, we believe this is the kind of conversation that matters: not just what technology can do, but whether it can remain functional, accessible and useful to the communities we serve.

That is where innovation becomes impact.

Five countries. Five different healthcare strengths.

One of the things that stood out for us at WHX Nairobi 2026 was the country pavilions - bringing different healthcare capabilities from across the world to one floor at KICC.

🇿🇦 South Africa showcased home-grown African medtech - from orthopaedics and prosthetics to emergency care, assistive technology, infection control and clinical equipment.

🇮🇳 India brought a strong medical-device manufacturing and diagnostics ecosystem, with companies looking to connect their technologies with hospitals, distributors and healthcare buyers across Africa.

🇵🇰 Pakistan showcased its strength in pharmaceuticals, surgical and diagnostic instruments, hospital supplies and health & wellness products.

🇨🇳 China presented a broad manufacturing base across medical equipment, laboratory technologies, diagnostics and other healthcare solutions - reflecting the scale of China's medical manufacturing industry.

🇮🇩 Indonesia added another perspective from Southeast Asia, creating opportunities to discover products, technologies and healthcare businesses entering the African market.

For us the value was not simply seeing products from different countries. It was seeing different approaches to solving healthcare challenges and asking what can work for our communities in Kenya.

WHX Nairobi reminded us that healthcare innovation is global, but its impact must ultimately be local.

The question is: what can we bring home?

World Health Expo 2026.

For the second time, Kajwang’ Foundation is at WHX Nairobi, reaffirming our commitment to advancing healthcare and exploring solutions that can improve the lives of the communities we serve.

At KICC, we connected with healthcare leaders, innovators and industry players, with exhibitors from India, South Africa, China, Indonesia and Pakistan showcasing technologies and solutions across the health sector.

We also engaged with the Fujifilm Kenya team and explored the Aviator 880 DIX, an AI-enabled premium cardiac ultrasound system.

For us, commitment to healthcare means more than supporting services on the ground. It means staying curious, learning from innovation, building meaningful partnerships and seeking practical solutions that can strengthen healthcare and expand access to quality care.

Second time at WHX.
Deeper conversations.
Stronger commitment.
New possibilities.

~Advancing health. Empowering communities.

Every child deserves a reason to smile.

These beautiful faces remind us that investing in children is not only about education. It is about creating spaces where they can learn, play, express themselves, feel safe and dream freely.

At Kajwang’ Foundation, we believe that every investment in a child is an investment in the future of our community.

Their smiles. Their dreams. Their future. Our responsibility.

Our Literacy Day story is in the spotlight!

Nation TV.
RMS - Ramogi TV and Radio Ramogi.
KBC - Mayienga FM

The celebration brought together reading, storytelling, Toto’s Corner Podcast, fun learning activities and the establishment of a school library - a meaningful investment in our children’s learning and dreams.

We are grateful to our partners and everyone who continues to believe in the power of education.

When we invest in children, we invest in the future.

We joined The Artistic Bliss K.E at Sunbeam Talent School - Misambi, Kabondo Kasipul, Homa Bay County, to celebrate the 60th International Literacy Day.

Under this year’s theme, “Literacy for People, the Planet and Prosperity,” we brought literacy to life through a day filled with read-aloud sessions, storytelling, fun learning activities and the Toto’s Corner Podcast - giving learners an opportunity to listen, express themselves, ask questions and discover the joy of books.

A key highlight of the day was the establishment of a school library, made possible through the generous support of East Africa Educational Publishers, giving the learners greater access to books and a space to nurture a lasting reading culture.

We are also grateful to ABL for the generous stationery gifts that added to the excitement and learning experience.

At Kajwang’ Foundation, we believe that every child deserves access to books, opportunities to learn and the freedom to dream.

“A library is more than a room filled with books; it is a room filled with possibilities, dreams and futures waiting to be written.”

At the Plenary, Sometimes, It Gets Hot!

We walked through August with our adolescents at heart - listening, engaging, learning and creating spaces where their voices can shape the conversations that affect their lives.

But something stood out during our conversation with aspiring leaders.

What does the future hold for adolescents beyond the ballot?

At the plenary, alongside Hon. Rachel Ogutu, aspiring Women Representative, we wanted to hear beyond the usual political promises.

We wanted to hear the manifestos.

What is the plan for NGAAF allocations, and how will these investments contribute to ending the Triple Threat in Homa Bay County?

What are the plans for ICT and digital inclusion, especially in an era where adolescents are growing up with technology - and increasingly, AI?

And what does meaningful advocacy for adolescents look like beyond election season?

The ballot may determine who leads.

But the manifesto determines what that leadership means for the young people they serve.

As Kajwang’ Foundation, we will keep asking the questions that matter.

Because adolescent voices should not only be heard in programmes but should be heard where decisions are made.
