- Lwala Community Hospital - The community of Lwala, Kenya was suffering from the dual burden of high maternal mortality and HIV prevalence. Rather than wait for help to come to them, village members donated their own land, resources, labour, and expertise to build Lwala Community Hospital. Over time, the hospital has grown into a full-scale movement for community-led health-a movement poised to transform Kenya's health system. The hospital provides care to more than 88,000 patients annually and conducts delivery for more than 770 babies annually. The innovations teste at Lwala hospital are scaled up to improve quality of health care in several health facilities in Kenya.Expenses $1,949,853

As a result, we have been called upon by the national Ministry of Health (MOH) to provide technical expertise to national policies, guidelines, and curricula. As these national documents are finalized, Lwala then works with the MOH to pilot, evaluate, and scale-up these approaches. We use the set policies and guidelines to strengthen the county health system and build its ability to deliver healthcare for all.Expenses $1,731,428
