Proactive Doorstep Care
We implement our programs within existing government delivery and data systems.
Proactive Doorstep Care is a Community Based Maternal and Child Health care approach designed to bring essential maternal and child health services directly to the homes of those in underserved and rural areas. Incorporating Community Health Workers, Nurses on Bikes, Mobile Clinics, and health facility support, this model aims to overcome access barriers by providing preventive, early detection and timely care to women of childbearing age before pregnancy, during pregnancy, after pregnancy, under five children and adolescents, empowering families with the knowledge, attitudes, skills and resources to achieve better health outcomes.
​
We provide essential maternal and child health services at the community and primary levels in remote areas, creating an accessible entry point to healthcare for underserved populations. Aligned with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3, which focuses on universal health coverage, our programs integrate community health care as a foundational component. Evidence shows that community-based health initiatives significantly improve outcomes for women and children, contributing to declines in child mortality and malaria fatality rates.​​​​​

At the frontline of service delivery
Community Health Services Delivery
Maternal Health Services
Our obstetric care programs aim to remedy the crucial "three delays" that can threaten the lives of both mother and child. These are: delay in deciding to seek care; delay in reaching a health facility; and delay in receiving appropriate treatment at the facility.
Malaria, Diarrhoea, Pneumonia prevention and Treatment
Community Health Workers provide Integrated Community Case Management (iCCM).
Family and Community Health Services
At community-level, the CHWs provide NCD interventions that are integrated in their routine work. They conduct door-to-door screenings that seek to improve detect of NCDs and ensure timely referrals for treatment.
Adolescents’ sexual and reproductive health
We provide access to comprehensive sexuality education; services to prevent, diagnose and treat STIs; and counselling on family planning. We empower young people to know and exercise their rights, including the right to delay marriage and the right to refuse unwanted sexual advances.
Additional Services
CHWs screen and treat for malnutrition in under children. Severe malnutrition cases are referred to public health facilities for proper management. They make follow-up and recovery support in the home.
Referral and Emergency Services
We transfer patients from one level of care to the other when needed for proper management.
