Our Programs
KIDA education support services
KIDA recognizes the plight of children affected by HIV/AIDS and other social economic hazards which prevent them from growing into healthy, secure and useful members of society. It therefore gives an opportunity to the most needy
KIDA Health Service Delivery
The hospital provides not just general health care services but it being the only health facility of such capacity in the rural area gives much hope in meeting the needs of the vulnerable poor population especially women and children.
Community Health Based Insurance
In an effort to increase access to and affordability of quality healthcare at the hospital, KIDA Community based Health Insurance Plan (KICHIP) was initiated. Like all CBHI programs elsewhere
KIDA SACCO
To promote development through self-help initiatives, KIDA founded a Savings and Credit Cooperative Organization (SACCO) in 2007 which is now known as Kitojo Care SACCO. The organization provides for saving and loan acquisition among the members
KIDA Voccational training
As a way of empowering the jobless young and adults to become job creators rather than jobseekers, KIDA offers Vocational Skills training at subsidized arrangements. Beneficiaries include School leavers/dropouts and other people who want to broaden their skills
