Lwala unlocks the potential of communities to advance their own comprehensive well-being

Lwala is a Kenyan-founded, Kenyan-led organization rooted in the communities we serve. When it comes to improving health outcomes, we believe that communities should be in the driver's seat–no one can identify challenges and solutions better than communities themselves. Our model centers communities as leaders and change-makers breaking cycles of inequity.
OUR MODEL

Community-led solutions to transform health systems

Creating significant, system-wide change requires movement building. Lwala convenes coalitions of government officials, implementing partners, and civil society to make the Kenyan health system work better for the communities it serves. Together, we test new solutions, gather community input, and change health policies.
 SYSTEMS CHANGE

Youth at the center of transformation

When young people are informed, supported, and empowered, they become powerful agents of change. Lwala’s youth-led sexual and reproductive health initiatives give young people the skills and space to lead, transforming care for themselves and their peers.
