“We trek for about 5 kilometers every day to cover the number of people we are assigned to serve depending on the weather conditions. Sometimes we walk through thick thickets or wet grounds to get to the homes of our people.”

Traveling far is difficult for many who are sick, but illnesses like malaria, measles and diarrhea still threaten lives in hard-to-reach places. Every day in Kenya, over 100,000 workers personally deliver medical supplies to their communities.

We believe hard-to-reach patients are worth the journey. That’s why VillageReach, in partnership with Lwala Community Alliance, supports Community Health Promoters so life-saving medicines can travel farther than ever before.

With your help, health care goes further

Traveling far is one piece of the puzzle. Optimizing the use of medicines with skilled workers is another. Your gift today supports work like nation-wide trainings so Community Health Promoters in Kenya do not run out of the medical supplies they need to save lives.

Join us today to deliver health care farther and further than it has ever gone before. Your donation will play a vital role in enhancing health care accessibility for people in hard-to-reach communities.
