Empowering Women in Healthcare

By seeking to increase women's access to healthcare, Jali Watoto hopes to empower women working in healthcare. We work with women health volunteers to oversee the children, maintain administrative functions of the center, and rely on them to help us come up with solutions to challenges.

Projections

  • •The Jali Watoto Foundation is currently on track to service over 10,000 mothers and children by the end of 2025.
  • •We have ambitions to expand to a county-wide level in Kisumu, Kenya and to start programs in Rwanda by the end of 2026.
  • •Our hope is to include more early childhood and maternal health education in our programs.
