WENZI KWA AFYA / ALLIANCE FOR HEALTH is a collaborative effort to support the education of young women from rural western Kenya who plan to return to their radically under-served community to provide essential health care services. With partnership, mutual benefit, and investment in the rising generation at the heart of the Wenzi Kwa Afya endeavor, our model is designed for the 21st century.

Each year qualified high school graduates will come to River Valley Community College in Claremont, New Hampshire, for nursing or health science programs. They in turn will contribute an international presence to RVCC, enhancing understanding and providing opportunities for involvement with the community in Kenya for both students and members of the faculty. The first two sponsored students from Kenya are currently studying and are living with host families.
