What we do

Child.org exists to spark progress in global maternal, neonatal and child health. 

We do this by discovering, designing and delivering solutions that keep mums, babies and children safe, alive and healthy. 

Discovery. We work to find opportunities to improve maternal and child health outcomes.

Design. We create solutions to the barriers mums, babies and children face to access quality care. 

Delivery. We deliver projects - and we monitor, assess and report on the results. 

Child.org is led from our office in Nairobi, and all our work is conducted in close partnership with local communities.

We find ways for schools to provide clean water, soap, deworming, malaria nets, family planning, food, training in health and life skills - whatever's needed at that particular school. HealthStart works directly with schools, strengthening their internal systems and offering new ways for the school to tackle issues themselves. This way we create sustainable change that will have positive effects today and for generations to come
