We are glad to have had a CSR activity as part of Breastfeeding Week, where KMET facilitated a breastfeeding sensitization session with the Episcopal Church Care Group in Nyang’ande, Kadibo Sub-County. The session brought together mothers and male caregivers, highlighting the importance of family support for optimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF).

We are also glad to join Mamatoto CBEs for the Breastfeeding Week Walk this Saturday, 8 August, starting at 6:30 AM at Lumumba Hospital. KMET’s Clinic on Wheels (K-COW) will be on site offering integrated health services.

Together, let’s support breastfeeding and give every child a healthy start in life!

Earlier today, the SAFIRE Project convened a biannual review meeting bringing together pharmaceutical technologists, Sub County Health Records and Information Officers (HRIOs), healthcare providers, Community Health Assistants (CHAs), Community Health Promoters (CHPs), youth peer providers and referral Care Centre representatives from 6 Safire supported sub-counties in Homa Bay County: Homa Bay Town, Ndhiwa, Rangwe, Karachuonyo, Suba North and Suba West.

The meeting provided an opportunity to reflect on programme achievements, share experiences, identify challenges and develop recommendations to strengthen access to quality sexual and reproductive health services.

County data presented during the meeting showed that family planning coverage among women of reproductive age in Homa Bay County stands at 61%, while antenatal care coverage is 86% for the first ANC visit, 46% for the fourth ANC visit and 4% for the eighth ANC visit.

These insights will help inform county planning, budgeting and decision making as Homa Bay prepares to launch its Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy 2026 next week.

Participants also noted a high uptake of family planning services among Adolescent Girls and Young Women(AGYW) aged 10 to 24 years.

A major proposal emerging from the discussions was the integration of healthcare services to improve continuity of care, enhance efficiency and ensure clients can access comprehensive, client centered services through a coordinated approach.

Together, we continue to use data, collaboration and innovation to improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes for all.

One issue echoed across our stakeholder engagements in multiple counties is the persistent shortage of family planning commodities. For the communities we serve, this means limited choice, interrupted care, and missed opportunities to plan healthy families.

This Breastfeeding Week (1st- 7th August), we stand with mothers in promoting breastfeeding as the best start to life.

Breastfeeding provides ideal nutrition, strengthens immunity, supports healthy growth and brain development, and we encourage exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months.
Through our Nurturing Care for ECD Program (Smart Start Initiative), we champion Nurturing Care for ECD during the first 1,000 days.

Together, let's build supportive families, communities, and workplaces where every mother can breastfeed with confidence and every child has the healthiest start in life.

We are delighted to have partnered to bring smiles and healthcare services closer to the people of Sigomere in Ugunja, Siaya County, through a free integrated medical camp, which recorded an impressive turnout of community members eager to access services.
Our Clinic on Wheels (COW) was on site-we provided cervical cancer screening, obstetric ultrasound services with some diagnoses highlighting the need for earlier access to these services alongside these we had health education, family planning and other SRH services, SHA registration, a children's play corner, birth registration on the spot at the stipulated fee, eye clinic, occupational therapy, voluntary male circumcision, HTS, general outpatient services and more.
Although we may not have reached everyone, we are happy to have bridged an important healthcare gap. We encourage everyone to continue seeking timely healthcare for safe motherhood, healthy children, and healthier communities
We thank Sigomere Sub-County Hospital, the County Government of Siaya, collaborating partners, Community Health Promoters (CHPs), and all stakeholders for making this possible.
KMET is ready to walk this journey with our communities and partners every step of the way.

Today, we held a sexual and reproductive health (SRH) biannual review meeting bringing together representatives from the Kisumu County Department of Health, pharmaceutical technologists, Community Health Assistants (CHAs), Community Health Promoters (CHPs), public and private healthcare providers, and Ministry of Health mentors (ToTs) to review programme implementation and share experiences, lessons, achievements, challenges, and recommendations.

Key findings revealed that rural sub-counties continue to carry the highest burden of adolescent pregnancy. At the same time, access to adolescent-friendly family planning (FP) services remains uneven and inversely associated with pregnancy risk. Participants called for scaling up adolescent-friendly FP outreach, strengthening SGBV referral and reporting systems, and improving data quality to support evidence-based planning and decision-making.

The insights from the review will inform our transition strategy as programme approaches are progressively integrated into county health systems, strengthening local ownership, long-term sustainability, and opportunities for scale-up.

KMET is officially in West Pokot!
We are excited to announce KMET's entry into West Pokot County as part of the Kaleidoscope Consortium, a partnership of six organizations implementing a four-year Maternal and Newborn Health (MNH) project across Kwale, Kilifi, Samburu, and West Pokot.

The Kaleidoscope project focuses on reducing maternal deaths, preventing teenage pregnancies, and strengthening health systems to improve access to quality reproductive, maternal, and adolescent health services, especially for women, girls, and underserved communities.

In West Pokot, persistent challenges include a shortage of skilled healthcare workers, limited emergency obstetric and newborn care services, weak referral systems, inadequate emergency transport, and barriers to accessing quality reproductive health services. These gaps continue to contribute to poor maternal and adolescent health outcomes.

This week, together with the West Pokot County Department of Health and the consortium partners, we have begun a co-creation process to design context-specific interventions that respond to the county's unique needs, available resources, and opportunities across all six sub-counties.

We are proud to have key decision-makers in the room; we are joined by the CEC Health county pharmacist, the Six Sub-County RH coordinators, sub-county MOHs, and the HRIOs.

The meeting is also defining stakeholder roles, governance structures, accountability mechanisms, and developing a shared implementation roadmap with agreed activities, milestones, and the resources required to achieve lasting impact.
A special shout-out to the Consortium partners: Zamara Foundation, TICAH , KMET, SRHR Alliance RHNK and ADS Nyanza
