On 23rd April 2026, the Community Health Promotion Fund (CHPF) marked the successful close of its Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) project—an important milestone reflecting years of impactful work since 2022.

The event provided an opportunity to showcase key milestones and achievements realized throughout the implementation period. A comparative analysis of baseline and endline results revealed significant progress across the two sub-counties of Chonyi and Kilifi South, underscoring the project’s positive impact on community health outcomes.

The occasion brought together key stakeholders from the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Interior, alongside other partners who have played a vital role in advancing the SRHR agenda.

A central focus of the day was the sustainability of project gains, with stakeholders reaffirming their commitment to building on the progress achieved and ensuring long-term benefits for the community.

As CHPF, we remain dedicated to promoting access to quality health information and services, empowering communities, and fostering partnerships that drive lasting change.

Community Health Promotion Fund today We had the distinct honor of hosting our valued partners from German Doctors at the Junju Health Information Point, in collaboration with North Coast Medical Training College
The visit provided a meaningful opportunity for our partners to directly engage with community members—the very people at the heart of our work. Through open dialogue, beneficiaries shared their experiences and expressed sincere appreciation for the impactful interventions made possible through this collaboration. Their voices underscored the tangible difference being made in advancing accessible, community-centered healthcare.
The Health Information Point (HIP) model continues to demonstrate its value as an innovative approach to decentralizing essential health services—bringing care closer to households and strengthening community resilience. This initiative remains a key pillar in our collective efforts toward achieving Universal Health Coverage.
We are deeply grateful to our partners for taking the time to witness firsthand the progress and impact of their support. Your commitment continues to drive sustainable change and improve health outcomes across our communities.
The visit was led by CHPF Programs Manager Miss Addah Alela alongside the COBES Manager, and was attended by UHC project partners, the CEO of Baraka HealthNet, the Country Representative of German Doctors, and other key stakeholders.

Strengthening Sustainability: CHPF Hosts SRHR Refresher Training for COBEs Team

The CHPF-SRHR project recently reached a significant milestone in its mission to strengthen local health initiatives by hosting a five-day "Refresher Training on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)" at the Beaumont Hotel. This intensive workshop was specifically designed to equip the entire COBES team with the specialized skills needed to handle and provide Adolescent and Youth Friendly Services (AYFS). By focusing on the unique needs of young people, the training ensures that healthcare delivery in Kilifi South is not only accessible but also respectful and tailored to the younger generation.

Throughout the week, the sessions fostered a deep understanding of how to bridge the gap between healthcare providers and the youth, with Stella Bendera (SCPHN, Kilifi South) facilitating key sessions to guide the team through these critical rights-based services. The dedication of the participants was evident in every discussion as they worked together to refine their approach to youth engagement. The week culminated in a celebratory awards ceremony where trainers Emmanuel Mrira Koti (SCRHC) and Stella Bendera joined COBES Manager Madam Jane Mabuko to present completion certificates to all the team members. This collective recognition marks a major step forward in building a sustainable, youth-centered health workforce for our community.

We are incredibly proud of the COBES team’s commitment to ensuring that every young person in our community has access to the high-quality care they deserve. You can read more about the impact of this training on our website:
