Today, the Lwala Community Hospital provides care to more than 60,000 patient visits a year and delivery for over 700 babies. We test innovations at the Lwala hospital which we then use to improve care in hundreds of health facilities across the health system. Examples include Obstetric Hemorrhage bundle with the Non-pneumatic Antishock Garment (NASG) and neonatal resuscitation (Helping Babies Breathe) that is informing emergency obstetric care practices across Kenya. Our goal is to elevate Lwala Community Hospital as a Center of Excellence, a hospital modeling, teaching and advancing dignified, holistic, patient-centered primary health care. 1662924 83901 Maternal & Child Health: Lwala deploys professionalized community health workers to deliver care in homes. Core to our model is the incorporation of traditional birth attendants into professionalized cadres of community health workers. We pay, train, supervise and digitally empower community health workers to extend health services to every household. We track individualized data that demonstrates high achievements on immunization coverage, skilled delivery rates and under 5 mortality. We use digital tools and data to support health decision making and accelerate training and support of health workers at scale. 1097404 Health Systems Strengthening Through bottom-up innovation, Lwala incubates and measures new programs that improve health outcomes. As a result, we have been called upon by the national Ministry of Health (MOH) to develop or revise national policies, guidelines, and curricula. As these national documents are finalized, Lwala then works with the MOH to pilot, evaluate, and scale-up these approaches. We use the set policies and guidelines to strengthen the county health system and build its ability to deliver healthcare for all. 729348 83900 Adolescents & Youth Working with the youth to reach fellow young people, we deliver innovative adolescent and youth sexual reproductive health in and out of school. We create youth friendly spaces for accessing SRH services, distribute contraceptives in the community, and build agency of girls and boys to make informed choices and to complete school. 188858 WASH & Vulnerable Groups Consistent with our belief that holistic interventions best serve at-risk populations, Lwala addresses HIV and Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) together in an integrated program. Research shows that HIV-positive individuals are more susceptible to malaria, diarrhea, and other enteric diseases. Therefore, we implement WASH interventions in conjunction with HIV care to reduce the relative risk for malaria and diarrheal diseases among people living with HIV/AIDS. Our model empowers community members to elevate WASH standards in their own communities and is implemented alongside the Migori County Ministry of Health. 918206 83900 5790169 true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false true false true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false true 5 0 true 10 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false TN X Stephanie Skryzowski 6157946359 PO Box 60688 Nashville TN 37206 George Srour Director and Secretary 5.0 X X 0 0 0 Jessie Adams Director and Chair 5.0 X X 0 0 0 Melizsa Mugyenyi Director and Vice-Chair 5.0 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Stephen Carr Director and Treasurer 5.0 X X 0 0 0 Constance Shumba Director 2.0 X 0 0 0 Erin Ricci Director 2.0 X 0 0 0 Fred Ochieng' Director 2.0 1.0 X 0 0 0 Gladys Onyango Director 2.0 1.0 X 0 0 0 Mamka Anyona Director 2.0 X 0 0 0 Milton Ochieng' Director 2.0 1.0 X 0 0 0 Richard Wamai Director 2.0 1.0 X 0 0 0 Ashley Rogers Executive Director 40.0 X 175710 0 12277 Katelin Gray Communications & Development Manager 40.0 X 114499 0 10684 290209 0 22961 0 false true false 0 5106089 171735 5106089 Health Service Fee 621498 370348 370348 63761 63761 0 0 434109 158457 158457 0 0 4837175 0 4944118 95057 -106943 -95057 -202000 -202000 0 0 0 0 0 5496655 434109 0 -43543 559337 559337 187988 122192 18799 46997 2018152 1701622 238664 77866 8542 5731 1429 1382 31665 21094 4811 5760 39093 24434 6416 8243 81436 81436 20597 20597 58190 0 16148 42042 273913 245214 24031 4668 38579 27752 10827 222198 222198 127151 119692 7416 43 5723 5723 98761 97056 1705 50669 47387 3282 Program Activity Expense 2330243 2330243 Monitoring and Evaluation Expenses 163772 163772 Clinical Facility Expenses 130197 130197 0 0 0 0 6446206 5790169 458209 197828 2149760 2676800 8796170 6228513 5239884 3741909 27041 0 0 254174 153499 69996 90427 1245153 386888 794115 858265 2464673 0 0 64943 40293 17369042 16281420 224741 302445 0 0 0 224741 302445 X 9581231 8073414 7563070 7905561 17144301 15978975 17369042 16281420 X -949551 -274371 20597 37999 X false true X true false X 2363500 3632691 6122093 15920758 5106089 33145131 0 0 2363500 3632691 6122093 15920758 5106089 33145131 3065900 30079231 7510 16478 8377 14276 94763 141404 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 33286535 866026 0.9036 0.9459 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 35947 35947 458289 22914 435375 555747 254575 301172 195170 109399 85771 858265 5222284 -253774 0 -253774 5476058 20597 0 20597 5496655 6425609 0 0 6425609 20597 0 20597 6446206 true Sub-Saharan Africa 1 138 Program Services Centers of Excellence, Health Systems Strengthening, WASH & Vulnerable Groups, Adolescents & Youth, Maternal & Child Health, Research & Learning, and PPE 5230832 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Grantmaking 559337 1 138 0 0 1 138 5790169 0 5790169 In-Kind Pharmaceuticals Sub-Saharan Africa 1500 559337 Pharmaceutical Supplies FMV false false false false false false Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds The organization employs a monthly review prior to approving transfer of each month's funds to the Kenyan entity.
