Maternal Newborn Child Health

NFSS partnered with Humanity and Inclusion, ANDY, and Light and Hope to implement a Maternal Newborn Child Health (MNCH) project funded by the European Union. The project aims to empower civil society, government institutions, and partners to promote disability-friendly mother and child health services.

According to the Kenya National Survey on People with Disabilities (KNSPWD, 2008), one-third of women with disabilities have difficulties accessing health information and services, and 47.1% of females with disabilities face challenges in accessing health services.

Our main achievements include:

  • Supporting 21 women with disabilities to deliver safely
  • Providing assistive devices to over 200 children
  • Referring over 2,000 children with stunted growth for nutritional services
  • Training 400 community health volunteers on disability mainstreaming
  • Raising awareness about MNCH to over 10,000 community members
