About KAF
Kalyet Afya Foundation (KAF) is a local non-profit organization based in Molo Sub-County that offer a range of healthcare and family planning services to rural communities and slum areas who cannot afford the cost of healthcare or cost of transport to the healthcare facilities. This includes information and awareness raising to dispel myths and create a better understanding of the benefits of family planning, HIV testing and counselling and preventative cancer testing. The services we offer are free of charge and include a range of modern contraception methods (short and long-term reversible methods), HIV testing and counselling, cancer screening and immunizations. This is done by holding mobile clinics in various locations.
KAF belief that all people, regardless of where they live, have the right to decide whether and when to have children, to exist free from fear and stigma, and to lead the lives they choose.
KAF work to increase access to sexual and reproductive health and rights for everyone. We are committed to expanding access to quality sexual and reproductive health services that offer each woman the chance to make an informed choice about whether she wishes to use contraception and the method best suited to her needs. We collaborate closely with our partners to offer integrated health and environment work to address the holistic needs of communities, and reach the most vulnerable populations.
