No woman or Child is left behind
The Mwada-Gana Foundation, a Women’s Health Center and Mobile Maternity Unit, was established as a tribute to my parents. Despite not being wealthy, my parents, who were both teachers, ensured we had the essentials in life and provided us with education. My mother’s battle with breast cancer at 54 and my father’s complications from type II Diabetes Mellitus inspired me.
Guided by my mother’s belief in education’s transformative power, I pursued a career in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Today, as an Obstetrician and Gynecologist, I am fueled by my deep passion for maternal and newborn health.
Through the Mwada-Gana Foundation, I aim to give back to the community. By extending maternal and newborn care to rural areas, where vulnerable women and children reside and access to healthcare is limited, I hope to make a meaningful difference. Education has shaped my journey, and I strive to improve the well-being of mothers and newborns by providing essential healthcare services.
Mwada- Gana Foundation wants to spread our message of hope and compassion. We believe that a single action can make a difference in the community, and that collective action can greatly impact the world. Through advocacy and outreach activities, our team works tirelessly each day to contribute their part to the greater good.
Here at Mwada- Gana Foundation, we are driven by a single goal; that no woman or child is left behind. The under-served, underprivileged and the unreached have access to quality RMNCAH care. Our decision making process is informed by comprehensive empirical studies and high quality data evaluation. We strive to build productive relationships and make a positive impact with all of our pursuits.
The project aims to increase access to these essential healthcare services for families in the targeted areas. This includes services related to reproductive health, prenatal care, childbirth, postnatal care, child health, adolescent health, and nutrition.
Our ICCM Corps are increasing access to child care through Integrated case management of childhood illnesses to the unreached and underserved community. Bringing to the door steps child health care. We are bridging the gap in access to care, not missing the 24 hour window of onset of symptoms when the child is most vulnerable. Learn more about our work by getting in touch with our team today.
Help us make a lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable women and children by supporting the Mwada-Gana Foundation. Established in honor of my parents, who taught us the value of education despite their modest means, our foundation strives to improve maternal and newborn health outcomes in underserved communities.
