We loved hosting the Save the Children Kenya Global Awards and the Donor Compliance Leadership team at our #CFKAfrica headquarters yesterday. Our discussions centered on our partnership journey and the impact of our joint work advancing the #MNCH program in Kamukunji and Makadara sub-counties. It was a valuable moment to reflect on progress, strengthen alignment, and reaffirm our shared commitment to #maternal, #newborn, and #childhealth.
