On November 22, 2024, Dzarino CBO, in collaboration with Neema Foundation, marked World Children’s Day with a significant healthcare initiative in Ganze Subcounty, Kilifi County. This drug donation and distribution event targeted two dispensaries: Madamani Dispensary and Kaembeni Dispensary, focusing on providing essential medications for children.

Addressing a Critical Need

Healthcare access remains a challenge in many rural areas, including Ganze Subcounty. Madamani and Kaembeni Dispensaries, which together serve a population of approximately 17,500, face frequent shortages of essential medications. Recognizing this need, Dzarino CBO and Neema Foundation stepped in to support the community.

Event Highlights

  • Dispensaries Supported: Madamani Dispensary and Kaembeni Dispensary.
  • Focus: Children’s medications to address common health challenges.
  • Partners: Dzarino CBO financed the event, while Neema Foundation managed logistics and preparation.
  • Community Engagement: Prior consultations with local leaders, including the Assistant County Commissioner of Vitengeni and Assistant Chief of Madamani, helped identify pressing needs.

Collaborative Impact

The event showcased the power of partnerships in driving meaningful change. Neema Foundation’s local expertise ensured smooth logistics, while Dzarino CBO’s commitment to funding reinforced its mission to enhance community health and well-being.

Moving Forward

This initiative is part of Dzarino CBO’s broader Community Afya Project, which aims to improve healthcare access in marginalized regions. By addressing immediate needs and fostering collaboration, we are building healthier communities, one step at a time.
