The Kenya Red Cross and the Norwegian Red Cross have partnered to help communities break barriers to seeking health and combat the alarming levels of malnutrition among children in the drought-affected regions of Garissa and Marsabit Counties. Recognizing the pressing need to address low ANC, PNC and malnutrition coverage, the Cash for Health project introduces cash assistance as a solution and motivation for community members to access these essential healthcare services.
Transportation limitations, cultural obstacles, and financial constraints have hindered the ability of these vulnerable women to seek the care they urgently require. However, the six-month project has already made significant strides in making a positive impact on over 4,300 community members, strengthening their health-seeking behaviour and educating them on the health services available to them.
