GHP helped establish a clinic to provide primary and preventive health care in rural eastern Kenya in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and with community support. We also funded and support a group of 150 volunteer community health workers who serve 75 villages to prevent malaria (mosquito nets), diarrhea (water treatment and hygiene), and malnutrition (nutrition education), and teach the use of oral rehydration for diarrhea treatment.
