When nurses are empowered, they save lives. The evidence backs this up. According to @WHO, nurses make up almost 60% of the global health workforce, but there is still a shortage of more than 6 million nurses, especially in low- and middle-income countries. #Nurses are often the first people patients see, and they stay involved throughout the entire care process. They are the backbone of primary health care (PHC). By investing in their training, safety, leadership, and well-being, we can improve survival rates, raise the quality of care, and strengthen health systems. #EmpoweredNursesSaveLives #NursesSaveLives #NursesWeek2026 #NursesDay @NeoNurses_Kenya @ICNurses @AmrefUniversity @UNFPA @MastercardFdn @Amref_Worldwide

Why it matters: - Extreme weather heightens depression/trauma risks - Interventions: Community greening, resilient farming - Protects Kenya's future resilience @StrongMindsOrg @mental360kenya @WHOAFRO

Africa's climate crisis = URBAN-RURAL DISCONNECT. - - 75% of Kenyans will be urban by 2050. - 70% imported calories - 80% rural water collapsing. Rural holds 80% biodiversity solutions and less than 10% of decision seats. #AUCCW2026 fixes this.

Africa's climate-health crisis: 75% diseases are from animals, 50% health events are climate-driven, and 56% of rural livelihoods. One Health Indigenous wisdom = solution. Join us for AUCCW-2 on 2026 Aug 3-9 at @KenyattaUniversity to talk solutions.
