Awards measure one moment, but the work they honor is measured in years. The recognition received for the health of Garissa’s women is a moment in the highlight reel of a much longer story — one written in meetings, radio calls, faith gatherings, dignity kits and mothers saved.

The story

Recognition, and the work behind it.

The award is a proud moment for Fountain of Hope — and for the women whose dedication made the work visible enough to be recognized at all.

Who the award really belongs to.

When Fountain of Hope is recognized for the health of women, it is a recognition of a whole movement: the women of faith who open their congregations, the health workers who extend a hand, and the mothers of Garissa who carry the message forward.
