Program Description
Kenya Program
Grounds for Health recently expanded its East Africa programming to Kenya, where 3.1 million women aged 35-49 are at risk of developing cervical cancer.
Thanks to seed funding from Atlas Coffee, Bennett’s Coffee, Coda Coffee, Peet’s Coffee and Tony’s Coffee, Grounds for Health will screen thousands of women living in coffee-growing communities, treat those with positive test results and lay the foundation for future expansion of programs in Kenya.
Ongoing work made possible thanks to ECOM Foundation, SCAE and Bennetts. Thank you!

Cervical cancer represents one of the greatest disparities in women’s global health today. Help us save the lives of the women in Kenya who shoulder the majority of labor burden in agricultural communities.
