September 6th Program

Joanne Robblee – Kalifi Kids

In places like Kilifi, Kenya, too many kids are too sick to attend school. Too few receive care for treatable deadly diseases. Most will never have an opportunity to escape a life of poverty. We seek to change these things, and are exploring new ways to innovate service, empower the local community, and deliver self-sustaining and scalable solutions. We judge our success by lower child mortality rates. Kilifi Kids is a nonprofit organization devoted to making high-impact investments in health to help poor kids thrive in communities like Kilifi, Kenya. Since 2006, we have sought to maximize our social returns in several areas including health, education, and technology. Working closely with local Kenyan partners and major organizations alike, we design and execute projects to improve access to and quality of care for children and their families. Our volunteers are found throughout the US and Kenya and draw upon their experience in business, technology, and public health to

deliver pragmatic solutions. Every day, we believe that ordinary people like us can do extraordinary things. It all began over e-mail. Marc Olsen, a Rotarian in Atlanta, Georgia, met Janet Midega in October 2006. Janet, another Rotarian from Kenya, was searching for a partner for an educational project in her small town of Kilifi. Janet belonged to the Rotary Club of Kilifi, a 30-person club that was a mighty force in the community that, in past years, had created a school lunch program, replaced dirt floors with concrete ones in several primary schools, and built a malnutrition ward at the District Hospital. Well, Marc and Janet hit it off instantly, and along with Marc’s brother, Michael, designed and funded a project that would add four computer labs in Kilifi. Quickly, the plans to simply get computers into the classroom blossomed into two additional programs: high school scholarships and deworming. In July 2007, a small US-based team traveled to Kenya to meet their new friends and plan the year’s projects. In Kilifi, they met many of the people who are now leaders of Kilifi Kids, including Dr. Charles Mbogo, Jonathan Mativo (then, Plan International), Ben Tsofa (then, Minister of Health), Alex Maina, Lucy Ochola, and Zena Mlacha.
