Our Mission
Team Agape-Kenya has been supporting public health initiatives in Kenya since 2009. Our 2025 focus is on providing essential health education and medical services to women, girls and communities in rural areas in partnership with Children's Future Foundation of Kenya.
Our Rotary-sponsored initiatives leverage local partnerships for meaningful, lasting change in Kenyan communities.

Since 2018, we've provided mobile health outreach via jeep to remote villages around Magadi, Kenya. When the jeep broke down due to difficult terrain and weather challenges, no one received care. We needed a permanent solution.

Partnering with Children's Future Foundation of Kenya, we've launched a Rotary-sponsored clinic in rural Magadi. This permanent facility serves thousands who have lacked consistent healthcare access for over three years.
The CFF Rotary Medical Clinic provides sustainable, quality healthcare in the heart of the community, empowering women specifically with education, knowledge and healthcare access.

Focus Areas of Development
Sustainability
Model
The clinic's minimal fee-for-service model will ensure that donor dollars go directly to subsidizing quality care for patients and expanding services to include hard to reach remote areas. This approach empowers community investment in their healthcare.
Center for Education
Beyond medical services, our clinic serves as an educational hub for women's health and wellness. Our focus on comprehensive health education programs for women and teen girls ensures family planning, maternal health, and hygiene practices are integrated into medical care. These educational initiatives create lasting knowledge that transforms communities generation after generation.
Community
Health Partnerships
Our success stems from strong partnerships with local organizations, community leaders, and healthcare workers. By collaborating with the Children's Future Foundation of Kenya and engaging local stakeholders, we ensure culturally appropriate care that meets the specific needs of the Magadi community. These partnerships create a network of support that extends far beyond the clinic walls.
