The outreach also advanced mental health support, school re-entry for out-of-school adolescents, and dialogue on positive gender norms and male involvement in SRH. Together with Govt, CSOs, and community leaders, we're building healthier, safer, and more resilient communities.
The Integrated Community Outreach in Kisumu west brought essential services closer to adolescents, young people and the wider community. Coordinated by CSA through the SHESOARS Project in partnership with CARE Kenya, the outreach delivered holistic, people-centred support. #CSA
Community members accessed integrated SRH services, legal aid, psychosocial support, school re-entry advocacy, GBV prevention, and treatment for common illnesses - all in one location. This one-stop model strengthened referrals and improved access to the support people needed.
The launch is more than a celebration it marks the beginning of greater opportunities for financial independence, economic empowerment, and sustainable community development. Here's to stronger voices, stronger institutions, and a brighter future #CommunityDevelopment#SHGA#CSA
On 26 June 2026, Landala Federation CBO was officially launched under the SHGA Project, implemented by CSA with support from Kindernothilfe. What began in Sept 2025 as women uniting through Self-Help Groups has grown into a strong, women-led federation built on a shared vision.
CSA shared evidence from Eastern and Southern Africa and reaffirmed our commitment to working with implementing partners in Uganda and Zambia, while strengthening partnerships with stakeholders in Zimbabwe and Malawi. Can Africa afford the cost of failing to invest in health?
Supported by Sida through Hivos, the dialogue brought together parliamentarians, youth champions, UNFPA, UNAIDS, WHO, UNICEF, civil society and development partners to discuss sustainable health financing, adolescent SRHR and age-related barriers to accessing services. #Hivos

Yesterday at #RHNK2026, young people led the conversation. They asked critical questions, challenged assumptions, proposed solutions, and demanded accountability on age-related barriers to SRHR and youth wellbeing. Nothing for us without us #YouthLeadingChange#AYSRHR#SRHR#CSA
We'll bring together leaders from the judiciary, government, health systems, development partners, county governance, the UN, and human rights organizations alongside youth advocates for a timely dialogue on advancing adolescent and youth SRHR across Eastern and Southern Africa.
The sessions also strengthened awareness on HIV prevention, PrEP, HIV self-testing kits, family planning, and adolescent-friendly health services, reinforcing the importance of stigma-free, community-based support systems for adolescents and young people.
#SafeSpaces#CSA
Through the SASSI Project, CSA conducted psychosocial support and mental wellbeing sessions at the Ndhiwa Youth Friendly Centre, bringing together adolescents and young people from across Ndhiwa Sub-County to engage in open conversations on mental health and emotional wellbeing.
