From outpatient care, maternal and child health services, immunization, HIV counselling and testing, cancer screening, and family planning to national ID and birth certificate registration, SHA registration, and medical assessment and registration for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), the outreach demonstrated the power of coordinated, community-centred service delivery. The initiative brought together the Kwale County Department of Health, the National Council of Persons with Disabilities (@Ncpwds ); @HudumaKenya Kwale Centre; National Government Administration Officers (NGAOs); and other partners, whose collective efforts helped bring diverse services closer to the people who need them most. This outreach is part of a broader series of integrated interventions being undertaken across #KwaleCounty, reflecting a shared commitment to inclusive development, equitable access to services, and stronger community well-being. At @Mwarpkenya, with support from @PlanKenya, we believe that meaningful change happens when government departments, institutions, development partners, and communities work hand in hand towards a common goal.

🌍 ESSENTIAL PUBLIC SERVICES CLOSER TO HOME: MWARP BRINGS ESSENTIAL SERVICES TO MWAMBALAZI! 💚 Accessing #healthcare and essential public #services should not mean travelling long distances or facing unnecessary barriers. Every community deserves access to the #services, #information, and #support they need to live healthier and more empowered lives. On 23rd October 2026, Mwambalazi in Lungalunga Sub-County, Kwale County, became a hub of #health, #inclusion, and #community empowerment as @MWARPKenya , in partnership with Plan International Kenya, conducted an Integrated Medical Outreach. The outreach brought essential services closer to the community, giving adolescents, young people, and underserved community members an opportunity to access: 🩺 General medical consultations and antenatal care 🎗️ Cervical and breast cancer screening 💙 TB, diabetes, and hypertension screening ❤️ Family planning, HIV counselling and testing, and SRHR information 📄 Birth registration and disability assessment 🗳️ Voter registration to support eligible community members in exercising their democratic rights. Beyond healthcare, the outreach helped connect community members to vital public services and #referral pathways, promoting inclusion and ensuring that more people can access the support they deserve. This initiative was made possible through the collaboration and technical support of the Department of Health, National Government Administration Officers (@ngaosKE ), National Council for Persons with Disabilities (@Ncpwds ), and @HudumaKenya , Kwale. MWARP and Plan International extend our sincere appreciation to all participating institutions and partners for their invaluable contribution towards improving access to essential services. Together, we are breaking barriers, strengthening communities, and bringing essential services closer to those who need them most! 💚 #MWARPImpact #IntegratedMedicalOutreach #CommunityHealth #SRHR #DisabilityInclusion #CommunityEmpowerment

📢 Breaking Barriers, Building Trust: Improving Adolescent and Youth Access to Friendly Health Services in Kwale County! Every adolescent and young person deserves access to healthcare that is respectful, inclusive, confidential and responsive to their needs. On 21st October 2026, @MWARPKenya through the Sponsorship Programme supported by Plan International Kenya, supported a Reflection and Follow-Up Continuous Medical Education (CME) meeting on Adolescent- and Youth-Friendly Services (AYFS) in Kwale County. The engagement brought together #healthcare workers, public health officers and youth representatives to reflect on progress, address barriers to accessing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (#SRHR) services, and identify practical ways to improve healthcare for adolescents and young people. Discussions highlighted the importance of protecting #privacy and #confidentiality, strengthening referral systems, improving service availability and creating safe spaces where young people can access information and support without fear of stigma or discrimination. The way forward? Strengthening youth participation, enhancing collaboration among healthcare providers, and orienting all facility staff on adolescent- and youth-friendly services to promote respectful, inclusive and responsive healthcare. 🤝 Through this engagement, MWARP continues to champion a healthcare system where young people are heard, their rights are respected, and their health needs are prioritised. Together, we can build trust, remove barriers and ensure every young person receives the care they deserve! #MWARPImpact #YouthFriendlyServices #SRHR #YouthHealth #AdolescentHealth #HealthForAll

💙 Sharing Care, Changing Norms: Engaging Men for Gender Equality! Today, @MWARPKenya , through the Scaling Care Innovation Project, engaged #male students at Riadha College of Islamic Studies in Amu Island, Lamu, in a transformative conversation on shared #unpaid care work, women’s #rights, and sexual and gender-based violence (#SGBV). The session challenged traditional beliefs that place #household chores and #childcare primarily on women, highlighting how sharing these #responsibilities promotes gender equality, strengthens families, and allows women and girls more opportunities for #education, #economic empowerment, and personal development. Drawing on Islamic teachings, participants explored how supporting #wives and sharing family responsibilities align with the values of compassion, mutual respect, and care. The discussion also addressed SGBV, early marriage, child labour, and the importance of protecting women’s and children’s rights. The result? A shift in perspectives! Through open dialogue, students reflected on cultural norms and recognised the importance of men and boys becoming active partners in caregiving, preventing violence, and promoting safe, supportive families. The engagement also highlighted the need for continued community awareness on SGBV prevention, reporting mechanisms, and the protection of women and children, with participants calling for further learning opportunities. MWARP remains committed to engaging men and boys as champions of positive social change, building a society where care is shared, rights are respected, and every family member is valued. This activity was supported by @akuihd through the @ScalingCare . #MWARPImpact #ScalingCareInnovation #SharedCare #GenderEquality #EndGBV

PROMOTING PEACEFUL ELECTIONS AND INCLUSIVE GOVERNANCE AHEAD OF 2027! 🇰🇪 On 15 October 2026, @MWARPKenya Garissa County Office participated in the Garissa County Electoral Preparedness and Inclusive Governance Forum, organized by Garissa County Civil Society.
