🏥 Advancing Community Health Through Strategic Partnerships

Collaborating for Nutrition, Hygiene, and Healthcare Access

At Hands of Love and Mercy, we are committed to building healthier communities by addressing the foundational elements of public well-being — nutrition, hygiene, and access to quality healthcare.

Through strong partnerships with the County Government and local health providers, we’re strengthening healthcare systems and expanding community knowledge through targeted outreach, education, and practical support.

🤝 Our Collaborative Focus Areas

🏥 Improving Access to Medical Care

We assist families in enrolling with the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), ensuring access to critical health services such as consultations, treatment, and maternal care. This initiative bridges the gap for underserved households and promotes long-term health security.

🧼 Hygiene Education & Disease Prevention

In partnership with local schools, we conduct outreach programs focused on:

• Routine deworming campaigns for school-age children

• Personal hygiene education, emphasizing handwashing, sanitation, and safe water use

These efforts reduce preventable illness and foster healthy habits from an early age.

🥕 Nutrition & Household Food Security

To combat malnutrition and promote self-reliance, we support kitchen gardening at the household level. With backing from the County Government, we distribute:

• Garden bags (for urban and peri-urban homes)

• Vegetable seedlings (such as spinach, sukuma, and tomatoes)

This initiative enables families to grow nutritious produce year-round, improving diets and reducing dependence on food aid.

🌿 Our Impact

By aligning local knowledge with institutional support, our health initiatives:

• Reduce preventable disease

• Strengthen families’ ability to manage health long-term

• Improve nutrition and immunity

• Empower schools as health and wellness hubs

✅ Why It Matters

Health is the foundation of human dignity and opportunity. By working hand-in-hand with local communities and government, Hands of Love and Mercy is creating sustainable pathways toward healthier, more resilient futures for all
