Why It Matters
The First 1,000 Days Come First
In Kilifi, many newborns and infants miss critical vaccines because the nearest immunization point is too far, too costly, or has no cold-chain storage. Newborns and infants are our highest priority, followed by continued coverage through childhood, with adult immunization offered alongside.
One on One. Complete Health. Disease Prevention. In Africa.
1. Newborns & Infants — full KEPI schedule from birth
2. Children — catch-up doses and boosters
3. Adults — tetanus, Hepatitis B, influenza, HPV
Our Goals for This Pillar
Ensure every newborn receives their first protective doses within the critical early window
Complete full multi-dose vaccine schedules through defaulter tracing and caregiver reminders
Maintain reliable cold-chain storage so no dose is wasted
Educate caregivers so families understand the value of every vaccination

How the Program Works
From Cold Chain to Caregiver Education
Cold-Chain Storage
Vaccine refrigeration and monitoring so every dose stays safe until it reaches a child.
Defaulter Tracing
We follow up with families who miss a scheduled dose so multi-dose vaccines are completed.
Trained Nurses & CHWs
Immunization delivered by trained nurses and community health workers who know the families.
Caregiver Education
Mothers and fathers learn the full vaccination schedule and why each dose matters.
Mobile Outreach
We bring immunization to villages too far from a fixed clinic to reach easily.
Digital Record-Keeping
Every child's vaccination history is tracked so no dose and no child is lost to follow-up.
