Intervening to Reduce the Spread of Infectious Diseases

Through CMMB’s infectious disease work, we protect the most vulnerable populations from preventable diseases.

Infectious diseases are among the leading causes of death in Kenya. According to the World Health Organization, more Kenyans die from tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS than anything else. These diseases, and others like malaria and diarrheal illnesses, strain Kenya’s healthcare system. Amid the constant threat of life-threatening sickness, women, children, and their communities struggle to thrive. With our community-led approach, CMMB is working to reduce infections and provide quality care to those who become sick.
