The problem

In rural East Africa, the nearest hospital is often more than 40km away — a journey of hours on unpaved roads, unaffordable for most families. Maternal mortality rates in these areas are 14 times the global average. Preventable childhood diseases account for 60% of under-5 deaths.

Our approach

Each KINDRED clinic is staffed by a trained local nurse-midwife, stocked with WHO-essential medicines, and equipped with solar power and refrigeration for vaccines. We run monthly mobile health outreach caravans to reach communities even further out, and train community health volunteers to be the first line of care.

The impact

190,000 people have received care at KINDRED clinics. Maternal mortality in our clinic catchments has fallen by 65%. Child vaccination rates have reached 91% — up from 28% when we started. We've conducted over 8,200 safe deliveries with zero preventable maternal deaths in the past three years.
