Kenko Health Club
We establish health clubs in secondary schools, equipping students with health knowledge, life-saving skills, and the confidence to make informed health decisions.
Kenko Community Health Outreach
We take healthcare directly into underserved communities providing screenings, consultations, and medical support to those with little or no access to formal health services.
How we work
Building health impact from the ground up
We start where communities already gather, schools, workplaces, and local centers. From education and awareness to medical outreach and long-term engagement, every programme is designed to create sustainable health outcomes.
Start with the School
Schools are our entry point into the community. Through structured health clubs and education programmes, we equip students with knowledge that extends beyond the classroom into families and neighborhoods.
Educate and Empower
We deliver accurate health information through workshops, awareness campaigns, and community engagement programmes that help people make informed decisions about their wellbeing.
Bring Healthcare Closer
Through evidence-based medical outreach, screenings, consultations, and referrals, we bring healthcare services directly to underserved communities.
People Reached

Featured Story
When evidence saved seven lives.
Many teachers were living with health concerns that often went unnoticed due to limited access to routine screenings and preventive healthcare services.
Before launching the outreach, Kenko conducted a needs assessment across partner schools to understand the real health challenges facing participants. The findings guided the services, tests, and support provided during the programme. Over two days, 127 teaching and non-teaching staff members were screened by a multidisciplinary healthcare team. Seven previously undiagnosed Hepatitis B cases were identified and referred for further medical care and treatment. This is what evidence-based community health looks like—healthcare designed around real needs, delivered through data-driven decisions, and focused on creating lasting impact where it matters most.

Testimonials
The impact is best told by the people who experience it.
Behind every outreach, programme, and health intervention are people whose lives have been touched by the work. Here are a few of their stories.
“For the first time, a health programme came specifically for us the teachers. Before anything was done, they sat with us, asked questions, and actually listened. The assessment was thorough. I left that day feeling seen and genuinely cared for.”
Teachers — Medical Outreach
Lagos city Secondary School Teacher, Lagos
“I came to volunteer and left with a certification in Basic Life Support. Kenko didn’t just use our time — they invested in us. I now carry a skill that can save a life anywhere, anytime.”
Volunteers — BLS Training
“They taught us things our textbooks never covered — how to check blood pressure, how to respond in an emergency. It felt like real healthcare, not just theory.”
Students — Skills Beyond the Classroom
