Each month, our partners at The Nathan Hall Williams Center help analyze the unmet healthcare needs of communities and then create opportunities for frontline healthcare workers to participate in further training and if necessary, sharpen skill sets, to meet those needs. This month our sponsored training was at Menengai Dispensary, where the demand for family planning continues to rise above the availability of commodities. The Nakuru County government and partners intend to meet this need by availing new (to the community) types of reversible, long term family planning methods. Additional types of intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) and innovative, self-administered injections called DMPA-SCs, will now be available to this community and many others in the coming months. These family planning methods will not only help mitigate some of the common side effects people report from using other available methods, but will also allow for more autonomy for individuals as well.

We strongly believe in reproductive health justice and that everyone has a right to have children, a right to not have children, and a right to raise the children they do have in a safe and healthy environment.
