Afya Uzazi Nakuru-Baringo Program (2016-2021) worked to increase access to quality health services for mothers, children, adolescents and youth in two Kenyan counties. Afya Uzazi (“healthy parenthood”) focused on achieving impact through increasing safe deliveries, healthy babies and children, and planned and well-timed pregnancies. The project integrated water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), nutrition and COVID-19 response within maternal and child health services. The program was funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and worked in collaboration with Nakuru and Baringo counties, other local partners and communities.
