About

In Mukuru, limited access to quality healthcare puts mothers and children at serious risk of preventable illness and death. Barriers to antenatal care, skilled deliveries, and timely treatment lead to maternal and infant mortality in one of Nairobi’s most marginalised communities. 

The Ruben Centre Health Project is changing this by providing essential, life-saving healthcare while supporting Kenya’s goal of Universal Health Coverage. 

The project expands and improves: 

  • > Outpatient, maternal, and child health services 
  • > Antenatal and postnatal care, skilled deliveries, and immunisations 
  • > HIV and TB care, oral health, therapy, and laboratory diagnostics 
  • > Maternal nutrition and health education 

To ensure quality and sustainability, the project invests in training healthcare workers and community health promoters, alongside improved infrastructure, and data systems. 

Your support helps build a healthier, safer community where women and children can access the care they need to survive and thrive.

1 in 3 children in Western Kenya cannot read a single word.

As we head towards the end of the financial year, your gift can help children learn, read and thrive. 

In rural western Kenya, classrooms are overcrowded, teachers are untrained and under-supported, and children are leaving school unable to read, leaving them disadvantaged for life. 

But, with your help, this can change. 

 

With improved teacher training, better literacy support and safer classrooms, children can gain the foundational skills they need to succeed at school and beyond. 

Your support this tax time will help train teachers, strengthen schools and help thousands of children learn to read with confidence.
