In Kenya, over 25% of children under five are stunted, a silent crisis that impacts classroom performance and future potential. Through the Children’s Health Program (CHEP), Kianda Foundation provides essential medical care—checkups, deworming, and nutrition support—to thousands of underserved children. Healthy children stay in school, perform better, and build a brighter future.

Girls and young women in Kenya face unique mental health challenges, from gender-based violence to academic pressure and social stigma.
