About

Empowered, Healthier, and More Resilient Communities

Our work moves through a research, policy, and practice cycle, translating evidence into action. We partner with governments and stakeholders at regional, national, and county levels to expand access to high-quality health services. We listen first, then co-create solutions that bridge communities, facilities, and policies, rooted in dignity and trust.

OUR WORK

Programs

We deliver evidence-based HIV prevention for communities who need it most.

We support 206,000+ people living with HIV in accessing life-sustaining antiretroviral therapy — achieving 95% viral suppression across our supported facilities.

We reach young people with HIV, SRH, and GBV information through our one2one™ digital platform, OKY App, and community-based services across Kenya.

We integrate mental health services across all our programs — ensuring adolescents, key populations, and people living with HIV can access mental health support alongside other care.

Since 2009, we have strengthened community health systems using participatory approaches — ensuring the most marginalized populations have a voice in their own care.

We work with national and county governments to build sustainable health systems — improving governance, financing, and service delivery across 34 counties.

We develop and promote digital health solutions — including one2one™, OKY App, REACH, and tele-counselling — to expand access to quality care for underserved communities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions, Answered
