Development philosophy

Poverty and dependence at their root have many causes, one of these being reliable access to quality medical care. Kenya Aid focuses on empowering communities by making health care easily accessible in rural and remote areas. We believe healthy communities are more productive and therefore have a better platform for education and economic development.

Quality health care is a fundamental and enabling human right and Kenya Aid seeks to provide this in an environment that is free from prejudices of any kind. We provide sustainable services that heavily involve the communities in which we operate.

Kenya Aid believes one of the essential keys to development is working closely with indigenous government. We operate as a bridge between community need and government capability and as such, the long-term aim of our programs is to leave them in the hands of the community that has been empowered with the knowledge and tools to be successful in service delivery.

Kenya Aid also strongly believes in the importance of implementing development projects that are sustainable. As such, we only undertake new initiatives that can be funded on a recurrent basis from our current level of income.
