Health is at the center of our programs in Kenya. Propelled by their father’s dream and the loss of their parents, brothers Milton and Fred Ochieng’ founded the Lwala Community Alliance in order to bring health access to their community. This is particularly important in Nyanza province, where Lwala is located, because HIV rates are above 15%, the highest in all of Kenya. Malaria in the region is also a major concern, with as many as 450 patients a month reporting to our hospital with symptoms. In order to combat these and other infectious diseases, our programs focus both on treatment at the hospital and prevention through health education in the community.
