A collaboration bringing together the COVID-19 Action Fund for Africa (CAF-Africa), Living Goods and Lwala Community Alliance have made the single largest donation by an NGO to the counties. Collectively, they have mobilised donations of personal protective equipment (PPE) worth KES 100 million that will be channeled through the Council of Governors to benefit approximately 100,000 Community Health Workers (CHWs) across all 47 counties.
This partnership will enable CHWs across Kenya to save lives and promote positive health outcomes by continuing to safely deliver essential preventive, promotive, curative, and pandemic response services to households.
Living Goods and Lwala Community Alliance are in-country partners of CAF-Africa. In this capacity, they support the PPE quantification, mobilization and coordination process and will provide logistical support in the distribution of the consignment. The two non-profits work with national and county governments in Kenya to strengthen community health systems and have been providing ongoing technical, operational, and financial support for COVID-19 response since the outbreak of the pandemic.
