Mobile Clinic Brings Healthcare and Nutrition to Children in Nairobi, Kenya

Kenyan Communities highly affected by natural disasters and political and economic crises are struggling to sustain themselves with devastated agricultural and economic infrastructures. To help alleviate various health ailments in these communities, Giving Children Hope in partnership with Global Aid Network are providing Life Ministry Kenya with a shipment of medicines.

The medicines will stock a mobile medical clinic in Nairobi, Kenya that will bring health checkups, medical care, nutritional diet supplementation, and training in basic nutrition and health practices to as many as 6,000 patients each month.

This project is targeting school children in Kenya desperate for health and nutritional care. According to UNICEF reports, 23.2 percent of children under the age of five living in Kenya suffer from malnutrition. Similar reports indicate only 1 out of 10 children in Kenya’s poorest districts complete their primary education. GAiN and Life Ministry Kenya hope to motivate children to complete their education through these health and nutritional services.
