Period poverty isn’t just about a lack of pads—it’s about a lack of dignity and education. Today, we are celebrating a world where periods don't hold anyone back! Every girl deserves to navigate her period with safety and pride. Together, let's end period poverty and stigma!

Great collaboration in Lamu! Dr. Cleo Basken & Dr. Linnea Stansert Katzen from the Community Health Impact Coalition (CHIC) @join_chic joined our SD team to support a vital study on Kenya’s transition from donor-funded to government-funded Community Health Worker (CHW) stipends.

Global health is at risk of repeating its pilot problem — this time with AI. We've seen this pattern before: rapid experimentation, weak public ownership, limited integration, and eventually — tools that exist in parallel to the systems they were meant to strengthen. At Skoll World Forum last month, CHIC convened a workshop where CHWs, governments, frontier AI labs, implementers, funders, and researchers to take stock of the rapidly evolving intersection of community health workers and AI. Are we using AI to strengthen community health systems or layering new tools onto fragmented ones? The consensus was clear. You can't AI your way out of a broken system. If AI is going to support CHWs, it must be integrated into professional, supervised, government-connected health systems. That means CHWs helping shape the tools they use, governments stewarding AI as public infrastructure, and funders investing in long-term integration instead of endless pilots. The next phase of AI in global health cannot just focus on innovation. It must focus on public system integration. → CHIC contributors recently co-authored a new Lancet Primary Care commentary on AI and community health exploring what it will take to move from disconnected AI pilots to integrated public systems:  thelancet.com/journals/lanpr…

Mental health check-ups are as important as any other. In Kenya, therapy is free in public hospitals—a safe space to talk about trauma, fear & loss. If you’ve never done it, take time to seek help. Caring for your mind is courage. #WorldMentalHealthDay #BetterHealthForAll

Building the Africa We Want — By Us, With Us, For Us This week in Oxford, as global leaders gather for the Skoll World Forum, an essential conversation takes its place at the heart of it: What does it truly mean to shape Africa’s future, on our own terms? We are proud to see Janet Jobson, CEO of the Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation, moderating this timely and necessary dialogue at The Sidebar, bringing together some of the continent’s most thoughtful and action-driven leaders. Alongside: * Chilande Kuloba-Warria (MD, Warande Advisory Centre) * Atti Worku (Co-CEO, African Collaborative) * Brian Walusimbi (ED, Bless a Child Foundation) * Anna Ekeledo (CEO, AfriLabs) * Mosun Layode (ED, African Philanthropy Forum) * Mpindi Abaas (CEO, Media Challenge Initiative) * Umra Omar (Founder, Safari Doctors) This is not a conversation about potential. It is a conversation about agency. About leadership that is rooted in lived experience. About systems that are shaped by those they are meant to serve. About a future that is not imagined for Africa, but built by Africa. Delivered in partnership with Bless a Child Foundation, this gathering reflects a shared commitment to dignity, innovation, and a redefined narrative of African leadership on the global stage. Because the future of Africa is not a distant idea. It is being shaped, right now, by those bold enough to lead it. #SkollWorldForum #TheSidebar #AfricaWeWant #AfricanLeadership #TutuLegacy

In the remote villages we serve, we lead by example. 🧼 Handwashing is more than a habit—it’s a shield. It prevents the common diseases we treat daily and stops the spread between people and animals. #WorldHandHygieneDay #journeyforchange #OneHealth

#happyinternationalwomensday Today, we celebrate the incredible fact that women are now 60% of Kenya's national health workforce. When the backbone of the community has a voice, rights, justice, and action become a reality for every family. #IWD2026 #betterhealthforall
