Partnering To Build
Healthy Communities
Tiba Foundation supports locally led initiatives that build robust community health, knowledge and capacity, to improve access and quality of life in rural Kenya.
Healthy People Make Vibrant Communities
Access to quality and affordable healthcare is a basic human right, and we are working hard to make that a reality for rural Kenyans. Currently a severe shortage of medical professionals leaves the doctor-population ratio at 1:3803 (almost 4x below the WHO’s standard of 1:1000). What’s more, 71% of Kenyans live in rural areas, often far distances from city hospitals, where most doctors are located.
Using a hub and spoke model, we work to connect comprehensive, well-resourced hospitals and the less-resourced facilities in surrounding remote areas. By utilizing telehealth referrals, we bring specialist care directly to patients in remote areas.
Our group purchasing of pharmaceuticals ensures that even the most distant facilities have access to essential medicines.
Additionally, we address transportation challenges through the innovative efforts of the Boda Girls, who ensure timely delivery of healthcare services and supplies.
By partnering with local organizations who best understand these challenges, we help create community-led, innovative solutions that have the greatest likelihood of success and long term impact.
