Health and Environmental Awareness Program
Health and Environmental Education and Awareness Program for Kenyan governmental schools in slum areas
Iran Medical Clinics in Kenya , with join effort of Green Africa Global Foundation implemented “Health and Environmental Awareness Program”, for more than 1000 children in Kawangware slum area.
While environmental protection issue is one of the luxuries for some countries, in other courtiers it has remained as community’s basic right, which is still missing.
According to the report of The Water & Sanitation Crisis in Kenya, with a population of 46.7 million, 37 percent of Kenyans still rely on unimproved water sources, such as ponds, shallow wells and rivers, while 70 percent of Kenyans use unimproved sanitation solutions. This translates into more than 17.3 million people using unimproved water sources and 32.7 million people using unimproved sanitation facilities.
These challenges are especially evident in the rural areas and the urban slums.
After visiting the slum area and situation status, it is clear that the environmental education in schools of the slum areas is very poor. The living conditions in this community which has been chosen, is very far below the required standards. A quick look can show a lot of water and soil pollution, poor waste management systems, smelly sewage, dismal or no health facilities, sanitation problem and few infrastructures.
To deal with these challenges we must adequately prepare the children for the future they will inherit. That requires a commitment to provide children with environmental education and knowledge that helps them become the educated thought leaders of tomorrow.
We create a strong link between the children, parents and teachers, and engage them in efforts to protect their ecosystem.
Students can transfer their knowledge into positive environmental actions in their own schools and communities.
Improving the level of awareness of local people on the importance of clean and sustainable environment and its habitat and reducing pollution were part of the main objectives.
For achieving these aims we have done below activities:
Key activities
We involved children as a fundamental tool to impact the community by changing their culture and making them leaders of environmental conservation.
1. Auditing the school before starting the project.
2. Establishing Green Africa work-group in the school.
3. Pre- Evaluation of the Health and Environmental knowledge of the students.
4. Training workshop for school teachers about Health and Environmental problems.
5. Local teachers transferred the knowledge about Health and Environment to the students.
6. Post - Evaluation of the Health and Environmental knowledge of the students.
7. Holding the first painting contest, on reduction of waste production and conservation of the Environment.
8. Holding Free Healthcamp to check on the children’s health and well-being of the society.
09. Green Festival with football match with the message of Health and Environment, painting Gallery and recycled product prepared with students.
10. Select and awarding 10 best active students, who tried to change the school in-to green school.
Dr.Abdolreza Shahrezaee Director of Iran Medical Clinics in Kenya: This project started from January to April 2017. Iran Medical Clinic with the team of this project particularly “Green Africa Global Foundation” wish and are looking for opportunities so that this successful project can be repeated and continued. But to continue along this path, we seek the support and participation of other partners.

FREE MEDICAL CAMP IN KAKAMEGA
Kakamega is a county located in western Kenya. The medical team flew from Nairobi to Kisumu, and then drove for 55km to Kakamega and another 25km rough road to Nambache.
Nambache is a green place but underprivileged as the people have no access to health facilities and also the area is prone to malaria. According to our discussion with the Ministry of Health, Kakamega County, Iran Medical Clinic held a free medical camp in a school compound in Nambache on 8th October 2016. The medicine and medical supplies had been transported a few days before the material day.
On this day more than 750 people were treated by the doctors, Mother and Child Health services that included; family planning, vaccination and Pre-natal care and VCT for HIV were some of the services rendered. The people were very excited and happy to receive the free medical services and the event was nicely captured by the media.
The County’s Ministry of Health requested for more free medical camps in other areas within the county and support from Iran Medical Clinic to put up a medical institution in the area.

DONATION OF MEDICINE TO MANDERA COUNTY
Iran Medical clinics in Kenya donated Ksh.10, 000,000 (USD100, 000) medicine and medical supplies especially for the benefit of mothers and children of Mandera County. Mandera is a county located in the North Eastern part of Kenya bordering Ethiopia and Somali. More than 80% of the population consists of the displaced people from Somali. Due to overcrowding, weather and inadequate health facilities, these communities face big health challenges and lack of health services on daily basis so does the county government as it lacks the necessary requirements to run an effective healthcare system. According to the discussion and subsequent agreement between Dr. Abdolreza Shahrezaee, Director of Iran Medical Clinics and the Ministry of Health services, Mandera County, the clinic donated more than 50 items of medicine and medical supplies especially for the benefit of mothers and children of Mandera County at a cost of Ksh.10, 000,000 (USD100, 000) to the Ministry of health services, Mandera County.

FIRST EVALUATION OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL KNOWLEDGE OF STUDENTS

Partnership with HESHIMA KENYA
Dr. Abdolreza Shahrezaee Director of Iran Medical Clinics in Kenya reported:
We have entered in to a partnership with Heshima Kenya which is an organization for supporting women and girls who suffer from war and violence. We made an agreement to provide medical services in various fields like general treatment , specialized clinics ,mother and child care ,health talk in our clinics and hold free medical check up in their hostel.
Heshima Kenya serves East Africa’s most vulnerable refugees – orphaned and separated refugee girls in Nairobi, Kenya. The young women of Heshima Kenya have been separated and orphaned due to war, conflict, violence and terrorism.
They have fled persecution in their home countries and have been torn from their families. While many have witnessed the death of their parents, others believe their families might be alive but have no knowledge of where they are. With very limited access to formal assistance in Nairobi for shelter, education, and medical care, they often suffer extreme poverty, as well as cope with the physical and emotional scars from war and, in many cases, abuse and exploitation.
Unaccompanied refugee girls and young women face unique risk factors, including:
• Sexualized violence and physical abuse
• Marginalization and living in impermanent and hostile environments
• Domestic servitude
• Higher risk of depression, PTSD and stress-related conditions
• Higher rates of illiteracy and less avenues for achieving self-sufficiency
• Higher risk of forced marriage and early pregnancy
• Higher risk of FGM/FGC and complications as a result of surviving FGM/FGC
• Xenophobia, extortion and persecution from host communities
The young women Heshima Kenya serves exemplify these vulnerabilities. Upon entry to our programs:
• 60% report experiences of SGBV, although this number is believed to be closer to 80%, as many do not report these incidents due to fear and shame
• 20% have experienced forced marriage
• 60% are mothers already, typically due to sexualized violence
• 70% experience illiteracy and have had little to no formal schooling prior to enrollment
