Our Projects
Global Relations has several projects in Nairobi, including a secondary school, vocational training, a maternity and health clinic and a dental clinic. In addition to these projects, there are future plans for a school in Ethiopia.
Kenswed Secondary School
The upper secondary school started in 2012 and today has almost 350 young people who receive free education for four years. Qualified teachers who carry out good education, school meals, textbooks, computers, school uniforms, etc. are thus free for students who come from very poor backgrounds. Most of the girls live at the school's boarding school and the boys in year 4 at the nearby boarding school. Read more...
Kenswed Hospital
In June 2019, the doors to Kenswed Hospital opened, where there is quality healthcare with a focus on prenatal care for pregnant women, but also serves as a general health center. Since 2020, maternity activities have been carried out with approximately 125 births so far. Maternity care and childbirth are free of charge and free vaccinations are also given according to the childhood vaccination program. The clinic has its own ambulance, which in addition to being used in emergency situations is used to deliver medicines, home care and to organize field hospitals/medical camps for one day. Staff at the clinic have started a "Girls empowerment program" to facilitate the life situation of young mothers. In 2021, a dental clinic called "Kenswed Dental Clinic" was opened next to Kenswed Hospital, to promote good dental health. Read more...
