Over the years, working to make communities healthier, we’ve learned that their surroundings 'the air they breathe, the water they use, and the environment they live in' play a huge role in shaping their health.

This year’s Mazingira Day theme, “Citizen-Centric Tree Growing and Environmental Stewardship,” reminds us that protecting our environment is everyone’s responsibility and that every small action counts.

Our solar-powered Ubuntu-Afya Kiosks in underserved areas are proof that healthcare and sustainability can thrive together. By harnessing clean energy, we’re keeping clinics open and creating green spaces where innovation and wellness grow side by side.

We’ve learned that sustainability isn’t an afterthought rather it’s the backbone of lasting healthcare. This Mazingira Day, we celebrate the unbreakable link between a healthy planet and a healthy people.

Luxury looks different for everyone. For mothers in the informal settlements we work in, it often meant choosing between daily survival and the high cost of disposable diapers. It was from this reality that the idea to train caregivers on how to make reusable diapers was born.

We may not shout our accomplishments from rooftops, but in our hearts, we know we changed the lives of three or four mothers who had been quietly carrying the weight of these struggles. And sometimes, that is where true impact lies.

Last week, Cdsk Disability hosted the closeout session for the Make Way Programme, bringing together partners from Afya Research Africa and St. Francis Oriang.

The session was both reflective and celebratory, marking five years of the Make Way Programme. For the past two years, Afya Research Africa (ARA) has been part of this journey, working with young people with disabilities in Kibera and Mukuru Kwa Reuben. Through safe spaces, we have opened up conversations on their rights, empowered them to speak confidently about their sexual and reproductive health and equipped them with practical skills such as making reusable sanitary towels and diapers.

In addition, the session highlighted findings from our research titled “Assessing Availability, Accessibility, Acceptability, and Quality (AAAQ) of SRH Services for Persons with Disabilities in Primary Health Care Facilities in Kenya.”

This evidence has been key in shaping advocacy efforts and sparking conversations that matter for more intersectional health systems.

The gathering spotlighted success stories and drew important lessons for the future, particularly the need for strong partnerships, government collaboration and an intersectional approach to addressing overlapping vulnerabilities.

While the programme may have closed, the impact is undeniable. The voices raised, the evidence generated and the partnerships strengthened will continue to drive the vision of a future where SRHR is truly intersectional and accessible for all. VSO WomenLift Health Liliane Fonds Hivos
