WaterSafe Program

Waterborne diseases are a leading cause of illness and death in Kenya, with around 75% of these fatalities linked to unsafe water, poor sanitation, and inadequate hygiene. The jerrycans commonly used for water collection and storage often originate from chemical industries and are nearly impossible to clean, becoming a breeding ground for harmful germs. Partners for Care is addressing this issue by distributing over 90,000 award-winning WaterSafe Packs, offering a sustainable and innovative solution for safe water storage across Kenya. Each Pack plays a crucial role in eliminating preventable waterborne diseases and enhancing the health of individuals and communities. The Partners for Care team has positively impacted nearly a million lives by distributing these Packs in 20 counties within Kenya, as well as in Uganda, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Ghana, and South Africa. Our mission is to ensure every classroom in Kenya has a WaterSafe pack. So far, we have distributed the Packs to 1,813 schools, benefiting over 1,000,000 students. Every child in Kenya deserves access to safe and clean water. With 42,132 schools still in need of WaterSafe packs, each costing $10 and serving 30 students, an investment of just $100 could provide 10 Packs, impacting over 1,500 children over five years.

"And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward." -Matthew 10:42

For many persons with disabilities in Kenya, limited mobility remains a daily reality. According to the 2022 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey, approximately 2% of Kenyans aged five years and above experience mobility challenges. Partners for Care (PFC), we believe mobility is more than movement it is dignity, independence, access, and opportunity. Our goal is to ensure that every Kenyan who needs mobility support can access it across all 47 counties. Working through a network of 300+ partners, and in partnership with Mobility Worldwide and FODAC, PFC has received 75+ containers and distributed 17,000+ mobility carts, 100,000+ adaptive devices, and 4,150+ MiniMarts. To strengthen sustainability, PFC has also locally manufactured 1,459 mobility carts, building local capacity and creating employment opportunities. Every device represents a transformed life, greater independence, access to education and livelihoods, and fuller participation in the community.

The 2021 Ibrahim Forum Report indicates that 58% of Kenyans have internet access, but only 29% possess basic digital literacy. This gap in digital skills hinders the country's economic development and leads to missed opportunities. To address this, PFC is making a significant impact with its 33 and counting computer schools across Kenya. These schools are empowering individuals who have never seen or used a computer to gain the skills they need to secure jobs and support their families. So far, over 19,000 students have graduated with valuable digital skills that enhance their employability. PFC's computer program is built on strong community partnerships, where PFC collaborates with local organizations, churches and prisons to establish computer schools.

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world" - Nelson Mandela

According to the 2020 Kenya Malaria Indicator Survey (2020 KMIS) Report, malaria continues to be a significant public health challenge in Kenya, accounting for approximately 13% to 15% of outpatient consultations. Over 70% of the population remains at constant risk, particularly vulnerable groups such as children and pregnant women. This includes 13 million people in endemic regions and an additional 19 million in highland epidemic-prone and seasonal transmission areas. A simple bed net can protect a child from malaria while they sleep. Partners for Care is committed to eradicating malaria by distributing bed nets to thousands of people across Kenya. To date, more than 187,000 bed nets have been distributed, and PFC staff provide education on proper usage and maintenance to extend the life of these nets for the families they serve.

"Do small things with great love" - Mother Teresa

Partners for Care serves the most marginalized people, typically those who live on less than a dollar a day.  Because they cannot afford to visit a doctor, we provide healthcare services through our partnership with Marurui Health Clinic and PFC’s Circle of Health program. The program provides a family access to our health clinician and medications for a fee of .50 per month. In addition to health screenings and medications, the clinic also provides immunizations for children to protect them against deadly diseases and keep the poorest of the poor healthy. More than 95,000 patients have been treated through the medical program.

"There is no greater joy than to make a fundamental difference in someone's life" - Mary Rose McGeady

Learning to sew empowers women and men to rise out of poverty and become self-sufficient by providing them with a means to earn an income, support their families, and educate their children. Partners for Care, through local partnerships, has established 100 sewing schools across Kenya, including nine in prisons, where thousands of students have acquired valuable skills. Our goal was to open 100 sewing schools across the country; that goal has been met. Out of the 12,779 graduates, many have found employment or started their own businesses, creating garments, bags, and household linens. Some have also been hired by the PFC workshop to produce bed nets and water-safe backpacks(I have removed this part), allowing them to provide for their families.
