Kenya Project

Much of our work in recent years has been focused on the healthcare system in Kenya. By supporting clinical staff to deliver care and train local teams in underserved areas, we aim to meet urgent needs while building lasting sustainable capacity.

In October 2024 and December 2024 the first two R4AUK Point of Care Ultrasound workshops were delivered in Kakamega training 40 clinicians from the counties of Busia, Kakamega, and Vihiga. The next workshop in early July 2025 will be attended also by clinicians from other counties that have lined up to join the program.

In March 2025 we hit the road running with a team of 4 doctors and a busy schedule!

Healthcare Infrastructure Support

We kicked of the year with the donation of an ultrasound machine to Matayos sub-county hospital. We are continuing support and evaluation visits across Kakamega, Busia, and Vihiga counties to strengthen our collaborations and guide future strategies. New counties are set to join this year.

Looking Ahead

Mentorship & Workforce Support

Building on the success of our 2024 pilot program, we plan to expand our mentorship scheme for clinicians who have participated in the workshops by establishing, with Masinde Muliro University School of Medicine, regular remote personal development learning sessions. These monthly meetings will improve clinical confidence, skill retention, technology utilisation, and resilience in the growing community of Rainbow for Africa Kenya clinical volunteers.

Technology Donations & Utilisation Support

In 2025, we’re committed to expanding our support through donation of life-saving equipment such as ultrasound scanners and monitoring devices to remote health facilities in Kenya. We also assist frontline healthcare workers with upkeeping of donated technology, promoting engagement, and active utilisation to server communities effectively.

Thanks to your donations, we’ve already supported dozens of clinicians. This year, we aim to reach even more through targeted support and mentorship.
