Three powerful weeks. One mission: transform sickle cell care in Nairobi County.
On April 2nd, the Children Sickle Cell Foundation engaged 30 County CHMTs to shape a roadmap for better care and identify a public facility to champion sickle cell services, with support from the Ministry of Health and Nairobi County Government.
From April 8th–10th, healthcare providers were trained, strengthening both clinical skills and compassionate care. From April 15th–17th, Community Health Promoters were empowered to lead awareness and prevention efforts in their communities.
With participants from Kibra, Kawangware and Kangemi, real impact is already being felt.
Nairobi County is now ready to run a responsive, life-changing sickle cell clinic.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Fondation Pierre Fabre for their support through the KeTan Project. Together, we are building hope, dignity and a better future for every sickle cell warrior.
