Kageno increases the capacity of communities to deliver quality health services. This includes the operation of two clinics one in Kenya and another in Rwanda, where we offer clinical services and work to train local volunteers to become counselors, mentors, and monitors of community health. Projects place special emphasis on mothers and children, who often are the most vulnerable to disease and malnutrition.

Other health related initiatives include:

HIV/AIDS
Kageno’s HIV/AIDS programs provide information and services that stress prevention, detection, and treatment of HIV/AIDS (and other STDs), while also addressing the underlying factors that lead people to make choices that put them at risk of infection.

These programs increase access to condoms, counseling and testing, and antiretroviral treatment. These efforts are linked with other Kageno programs, including an Orphan Assistance and Sponsorship Program that provides help for communities struggling to care for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS.

Education
Understanding that proper nutrition is vital to a child's healthy development and an adult's ability to work and care for his or her family is one of the most important concepts that Kageno's health education program teaches community members. Kageno health program also focus on teaching techniques and practices that help prevent malnutrition, improve hygiene and sanitation and encourage family planing.

Partnership
Kageno works closely with various partners to improve both the communities access to health care and quality of that care. Kageno has established a strong partnership with the Ministry of Health in both Kenya and Rwanda. In addition, Kageno has been working closely with Partners in Health to train and build the capacity of the community health care worker programs.
