In the outskirts of Kisumu County, Kenya, where hospitals are few and doctors even fewer, a quiet revolution is taking place—led by women, empowered by technology, and supported by the Emma J. Williams Foundation (EJWF).
Through our Digital Midwife Training Program, local women with minimal formal education are being trained to become certified community health responders. These women are now equipped with smart tablets, solar-powered diagnostic kits, and access to a network of urban healthcare professionals via telehealth platforms. They don’t just assist with childbirth—they screen for malaria, help administer vaccines, and monitor child nutrition.
Grace, a 28-year-old mother of two, was once unemployed and unsure of her future. Now she visits 12 families a day, documenting cases on her mobile app and referring emergencies directly to nearby health centers.
“I never imagined I could be someone who saves lives. EJWF didn’t just train me—they believed in me,” she says with tears in her eyes.
This program has reduced preventable infant deaths by 30% in just one year and improved maternal care in three counties.
EJWF’s commitment to community-based, tech-enabled healthcare is more than a program—it’s a movement, proving that access to quality healthcare can begin with just one empowered woman.
