Recognizing the critical shortage of healthcare facilities, personnel, and medicines in Northern Kenya, UNKO focuses on improving healthcare access through mobile clinics, training local healthcare workers, and facilitating the distribution of essential medical supplies. Our goal is to enhance maternal and child health, combat diseases, and ensure underserved populations receive the care they need.
What We Do
Healthcare Access
We work to improve access to quality healthcare services in remote and underserved areas. This includes supporting local health facilities, providing medical supplies, and conducting health outreach programs.
Health Education
We engage in activities that protect and restore natural ecosystems. This involves tree planting, soil conservation, and the sustainable management of water resources to combat desertification and land degradation.
Nutrition Programs
We implement nutrition-specific interventions such as supplemental feeding programs for malnourished children and pregnant women. Our efforts aim to improve nutritional status and prevent malnutrition-related health issues.
Our Approach
Community-Centered
We involve community members in the design and implementation of health and nutrition programs to ensure they are culturally appropriate and meet local needs.
Partnerships
We collaborate with government agencies, international organizations, and other stakeholders to leverage resources and expertise for greater impact.
Integrated Services
We adopt an integrated approach to health and nutrition, linking our interventions with other programmatic areas such as food security and education to maximize impact.
Our Future Goals
As we look ahead, UNKO aims to expand its reach and enhance its programs to address emerging needs in Northern Kenya. We are committed to continuous improvement and innovation to maximize our impact.
