Reaching Kenya's Internally Displaced:Addressing Gender Based Violence, Reproductive Health and Family Planning Needs in Nairobi and Central Provinces

Recognizing the emergency situation in Kenya, Pathfinder received support from the Hewlett Foundation to implement a three-month long relief intervention to support the Government of Kenya's coordinated comprehensive humanitarian response by addressing the emergency health and reproductive health needs of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). Pathfinder worked together with the Ministry of Health and the Nairobi Women's Hospital to provide services to six selected IDP camps as well as two additional key sites in Nairobi and Central Province. The effort increased access to medical and psychological support to victims of rape and physical assault and increase access to reproductive health services for IDPs.
