Tiba Foundation Champions of the Boda Girls

Tiba partners with local Kenyan organizations to improve access to health, education & women's empowerment. Tiba champions Matibabu's Boda Girls program.

We partner with local Kenyan health care organizations and provide funding, medical volunteers, and strategic guidance. Boda Girls trains women as motorcycle taxi drivers in rural areas to drive community health, education, and financial empowerment for women. Together, we are empowering and saving lives, and transforming the health care landscape for thousands of locals in rural Kenya.

In Western Kenya, too many mothers still face life-threatening complications in pregnancy and childbirth.

MFK now has four ultrasound machines in the area and, with support from Boda Girls, is working toward at least one scan for every pregnancy in the county so problems can be caught early.

Thanks to this effort, maternity and perinatal deaths have declined, and in-hospital deliveries at Matibabu have increased by 67%.

This is the impact of investing in maternal health. 💚

Happy World Kindness Day! 💚

Kindness is what drives our work — from the Boda Girls riders helping mothers reach care safely, to the nurses, community health workers, and donors who make it all possible.

At Tiba, we see kindness in action across Kenya: in every safe ride, every smile, and every life touched by compassionate care.

Here’s to the quiet acts of kindness that change the world. 🌍

At Tiba Foundation, we believe quality healthcare is a right — not a privilege.
Across rural Kenya, we work with trusted local partners to expand access to essential services, train healthcare workers, and strengthen community health systems.

From maternal care to chronic disease management, every program is designed to build local capacity and deliver lasting impact — so families can live healthier, fuller lives.

This World Immunization Day, we’re celebrating the power of prevention. 💉

Across Kenya, Boda Girls help women and children reach care and share vital information about vaccines that save lives, including the HPV vaccine, which protects girls from cervical cancer.

At Matibabu Hospital, thousands of families receive routine immunizations each year, ensuring children grow up healthy and protected.

Together, we’re helping build a future where every woman and child can grow up protected and strong.

Exciting progress in our cancer care collaboration!
Tiba Foundation, African Cancer Foundation (ACF), Matibabu Foundation, and the Boda Girls are working together to support rural, under-resourced patients with breast cancer symptoms in getting checked and diagnosed early.

Through trained patient navigators, point-of-care biopsies, and the compassionate support of Boda Girls—who provide transportation and emotional care—we’re helping ensure that no woman is left behind due to distance or lack of access.

This partnership is part of our ongoing effort to close the gap in breast cancer diagnosis and care across Kenya.

In addition, Tiba’s Cancer Committee applied for a $250K AstraZeneca Grant and has been selected to move to the next stage! If awarded, this funding will allow us to implement learnings from patient navigation in our study, expanding participation to over 400 patients in 2026.

This Mashujaa (Heroes) Day, we celebrate the heroes in scrubs, lab coats, and uniforms across Kenya. 🇰🇪🩺

To every nurse, doctor, clinician, technician, and support staff — thank you for showing up with courage, compassion, and unwavering commitment to care.

Your service saves lives. Your kindness restores hope. You are our Mashujaa — today and every day. ❤️

Tiba acknowledges the seven days of national mourning in Kenya following the passing of Raila Odinga, former Prime Minister and AU High Representative for Infrastructure Development in Africa.

A lifelong advocate for democracy and social progress, he was imprisoned multiple times and ran for president five times. Odinga played a pivotal role in Kenya’s transition to multiparty democracy in 1991 and in shaping the 2010 constitution.

We extend our sincere condolences to his family, the Luo community, and the people of Kenya.

Happy Mazingira Day! Environment Day in Kenya. Something I love about Dan Ogola, CEO of Matibabu Foundation, is his passion for planting trees! He is responsible for thousands of trees in Kenya! When I came to Kenya, he had me plant 14 trees for each year of the organization. I was there until late at night - and loved it!! When he came to visit in the Bay Area, I took him and his wife to see our redwoods (but I didn't make him work)😀. Now Matibabu has gone further green - There's a farm, a healing garden, and the Bodagirls.org are riding Roam electric motorcycles and planting kitchen gardens after mothers give birth in the hospital. They dedicate an avocado tree to their child. Inspiring!

Tiba Foundation was honored at the The Org Impact Awards, which took place in Washington, DC, last week, with 35 other world finalists. (Nearly 3,000 organizations that applied!) Tiba was selected in the top five in the Health and Healing Category for the Boda Girls, a women's empowerment program we co-created with Matibabu Foundation. Congratulations to The Fund for Congolese Women, which won the 2025 Org of the Year! We also loved connecting with Jovia Kisaakye, who won the Rising Star Award with her Ecobed Biotech Brand, which transforms spoiled milk into an anti-malaria lotion. It was inspiring to connect with organizations and people that are making the world better, including rapper Common and ABC's Rachel Scott.
