Empowering Women and Adolescent Girls in Marginalized Communities in Lamu Through Health Education, While Improving Access to Healthcare Through Mobile Clinics

Marginalized communities within the Lamu archipelago and on the mainland towards Kenya’s border with Somalia suffer from neglect and insecurity. Militants operating in the area and an ongoing military operation have severely impeded their access to health services. Women and adolescent girls, some of whom have been internally displaced, are disproportionately affected. Their mobility is restricted due to a lack of infrastructure, poverty and the threat of violence.
