We’ve been keen in encouraging young girls to get HPV vaccine

Through Her Reason for Being campaign we aim to inch Kenya closer to meeting the World Health Organization (WHO) targets of 90-70-90 by 2030.

Screening

90% of girls fully vaccinated with the HPV vaccine by the age of 15

Vaccination

70% of women screened using high-performance test by the age of 35, and again by the age of 45;

Treatment

90% of women with pre-cancer treated and 90% of women with invasive cancer managed.

Awareness

Kenya to meet the 90-70-90 targets by 2030 to get on the path to eliminate cervical cancer within the next century.

What We Do

We Complete Every Step Carefully

The implementation of the Her Reason for Being campaign is an iterative process where every step counts and every step is connected.

01

Step One

We dedicate time to get a deeper understanding of the real challenge faced with women when seeking cervical health services.

02

Step Two

Getting to know who is affected is key and also getting those who can effect the relevant changes becomes critical. Involving all stakeholder is central for success.

03

Step Three

Community is where our real impact is. We commit to engage community actors at all levels to help improve the perceptions behind cervical cancer, defeat the stigma and build sustainable support systems.

04

Step Four

Dissemination of critical information to empower the community with sufficient knowledge to influence change. We leverage on various mediums to raise awareness about Her Reason for Being.
