      <image:title>Blog - Muthoni's Walk: A Step Towards Dignity for Every Girl</image:title>
      <image:caption>When I received my invitation to the "Embrace Her Cycle: Walk for Dignity" that will be held on September 7th, 2024, I felt a profound need to act. To raise awareness and funds for this cause, I am taking on a personal challenge: walk from Chogoria to Embu (58.6 km or 36.5 miles) on August 6-7 to support 300 girls - $3,000 USD. I invite my colleagues, friends, and HopeCore partners to join me in this mission. Your donations will help HopeCore provide 300 girls with an annual sanitary towels and underwear supply.</image:caption>

HopeCore's Micro Enterprise team recognized their potential and introduced a Street Business Training program to combat youth unemployment. The three-month program included modules on getting out of the comfort zone, identifying business opportunities, finding capital and starting small, record keeping and bookkeeping, market research, business planning, growing customer base, and money management.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Micro-enterprises are crucial for the economic development of rural communities. By creating income-generating opportunities, they provide individuals with the means to escape the vicious cycle of poverty. Micro-enterprises enable rural residents to generate sustainable livelihoods, reduce dependence on subsistence farming, and enhance their overall standard of living. They also create jobs not only for the entrepreneurs themselves but also for other community members, including marginalized groups such as women and youth.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WASH - 80,759 Liters of soap distributed</image:title>
      <image:caption>Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, HopeCore ensured there were four handwashing stations in every partner school. The handwashing stations include a 70-liter tank, a stand, and soap for handwashing. HopeCore ensures the presence of handwashing soap in 281 schools throughout the year.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WASH - 60,000+ Students have access to clean drinking water in school</image:title>
      <image:caption>We ensure clean water for drinking in each of our 281 partner schools by distributing one large water tank per school for drinking water, three small water tanks for handwashing, and free WaterGuard each term. HopeCore’s WASH team regularly monitors all tanks distributed to schools and in the community. Any tank found to be faulty is repaired by the facility. Additionally, HopeCore’s team monitors to ensure that the tanks have water, they have been cleaned regularly, and soap is present for handwashing. At each monitoring visit, HopeCore conducts health education on WASH topics to students, teachers, and/or health club members.</image:caption>

      <image:title>WASH - 13,645 Girls received sanitary pads</image:title>
      <image:caption>More than 65% of girls and women in Kenya are unable to afford sanitary pads, with studies showing that 2 out of 3 sanitary pad users in rural Kenya obtain them from sexual partners, putting young girls at risk of sexually transmitted infections, early and unplanned pregnancies leading to school dropout, and early marriages. Since its launch in 2016, the MHM project has worked to address this challenge by providing annual sanitary kits to 2,900 needy school girls every year. Each kit contains a year’s supply of sanitary towels and an educational pamphlet. Furthermore, our teams offer menstrual hygiene management education to girls to empower them to grow up as confident beings with the proper understanding of their bodies. Our WASH team is advocating for the inclusion of a private changing place for girls in school sanitation facilities.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Community Health Promoters (CHPs) - 1,265 Community Health Promoters</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Kenya Community Health strategy is crucial in achieving universal health coverage. It is an approach through which households and communities strengthen their role in their own health by increasing their knowledge, skills, and participation. At the heart of this strategy are Community Health Promoters and community members trained to render certain basic health services to the communities they come from.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Community Clinic - 32,287 Patients seen in our office clinic</image:title>
      <image:caption>An extension of our Maternal and Child Health Program, our Chogoria static, office-based clinic was launched in 2015 and offers services in medical consultation, family planning, cervical cancer screening, growth monitoring, immunization, nutrition counseling, antenatal care, HIV counseling and testing, and youth services. Mothers who attend our clinic for their antenatal visits are also given a mosquito net for malaria prevention. The nurses and clinical officers working in the static clinic also manage a 24/7 health hotline. Community Health Promoters, HopeCore’s mobile clinic nurses, and other HopeCore Community Health Officers can provide community members with the health hotline number as an immediate referral for on-demand health information. Our clinical team also conducts physical follow-ups where needed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>School Health - 85,922 Students have received free health services</image:title>
      <image:caption>Lack of access to quality treatment services is a significant problem among the students in our partner schools. Most children have no health insurance, and when they get sick, they delay treatment with the hope that it will resolve on its own; others resort to self-medication. The result is drug resistance, complications from otherwise simple infections that could have easily been treated on time, and missing class time. Our treatment services in schools aim to bridge this gap through the screening of common illnesses and providing diagnosis and treatment. Services provided by our clinical teams include free treatment services and medication, routine deworming, follow-up visits to those treated to ensure adherence to the treatment plan, and referral of complex cases.</image:caption>

      <image:title>School Health - 751,390 Students have been educated</image:title>
      <image:caption>Education of students on health and hygiene issues enables them to develop healthy behaviors. Empowered children not only grow into healthy adults but also are able to influence those around them, thereby enhancing the health status of their communities. Through direct education by HopeCore staff, mobilization and creation of health clubs, and training Teacher Health Champions, we are empowering students and teachers in over 680 schools to be health change agents in their communities. HopeCore has an age-appropriate health curriculum for lower primary, upper primary, and secondary school students. We have educated over 697 teachers (1-2 teachers from each of our partner schools) and certified them as Teacher Health Champions in the schools. 269 students have been trained and certified as school-based youth peer providers, and the health clubs provide a platform for sustainable health education in schools.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Maternal and Child Health - Maternal and Child Health</image:title>
      <image:caption>One in every 24 children does not survive to their 5th birthday. Maternal deaths remain unacceptably high at 355 deaths per 100,000 live births. HopeCore’s Maternal and Child Health (MCH) program aims to address this challenge through mobile, village-based MCH clinics. These MCH clinics conducted in central community locations or in homes to ensure clinics are geographically accessible and mothers are comfortable. Currently our experienced healthcare teams conduct village-based MCH clinics across 516 villages in Mwimbi, Muthambi, and Tharaka South sub-counties. The teams conduct health education and provide free treatment services. In addition to education and treatment, clinics provide prenatal multivitamins, deworming, nutritional assessment, and micronutrient supplements (such as vitamin A) to under-five children, as well as family planning to women.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Vision Health - 144,242 Children screened for vision since 2020</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many factors contribute to a child’s ability to perform in school; good vision is key. Children’s eyes are constantly in use in the classroom and on the playground. When their vision is not functioning properly, their education and participation in sports can be hampered. Over 75% of visual impairment results from preventable causes. According to the Kenya Ministry of Health report of October 2019, of the 7.5 million Kenyans who need eye health services, only 21.3% are able to access eye health from either public or private facilities. Furthermore, interventions targeting child eye health associated with schooling and development have been lacking. HopeCore is screening the entire school district for visual impairment. We have identified and partnered with DOT eyeglasses to provide refractive error correction with eyeglasses free of charge. In addition, children who need specialist review, medications, prescription glasses, and surgeries receive them, fully paid for by the organization.</image:caption>
