Who we are

Children born in sub-Saharan Africa are 15 times more likely to die in childhood than children in Europe and North America and the earliest days of life are still the most dangerous for children born in Kenya and all over Africa.

This is the reason Child.org does the work we do. We work with pregnant women, new mums, communities and government to provide life-saving antenatal and postnatal health information, connect communities and services, and advocate for quality care so that mums and babies stay safe, alive and healthy.

Our culture and values

We are:

People Centred

First and foremost, we work with people. Pregnant women, new mums, community health promoters, government staff. We respect their autonomy, dignity, experience and expertise, which inform and shape how we work

Data Driven

Everything we do is based on evidence. Whether it is designing neonatal health programmes or fundraising activities, we use facts to shape what we do.

Collaborative

We listen. For successful, sustainable change we need to understand and be led by the communities and health authorities we work with. We need to fit within national reproductive health strategies, so that we can be better partners, collaborate effectively and see impactful change in maternal and neonatal health.

AmbitIous

We are a small team with an outsized impact. Split between Nairobi, Meru and Bristol, and supported by a brilliant community of champions, fundraisers and partners, we believe we can catalyse improvements in maternal and child health outcomes in Kenya and beyond.
