Tatu City and AAR Healthcare Limited have joined forces to launch a three-year school deworming program targeting six government primary schools in Kiambu County. This initiative aims to improve the health and well-being of children by tackling prevalent worm infections that hinder their learning and development.
“Children are especially vulnerable to worm infections, impacting their health and ability to thrive in school,” said Angela Muthonga, Sustainability and Corporate Partnerships Manager at Tatu City. “Through this partnership, we aim to ensure every child in our community has the opportunity to reach their full potential.”
This program aligns with Tatu City’s broader Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) strategy, which focuses on Community, Health, Education, and Conservation. The collaboration extends beyond deworming, including joint efforts in basic health education, menstrual hygiene, outreach programs, and career talks.
AAR Healthcare Kenya’s ESG coordinator, Gertrude Nyanzi, emphasizes the connection between environmental well-being and human health. “Our Trees for Health program promotes environmental conservation alongside community health. Partnering with Tatu City allows us to reach more children and make a significant impact in Kenya.”
This collaboration demonstrates a commitment to improving the lives of children in Kiambu County by addressing their health needs and fostering their overall well-being.
