Summary

  • We’ve sent cash to nearly 1,500 pregnant women in rural Kenya to support safer pregnancies and newborn care since September 2025.

  • Early data show women prioritizing food, baby supplies, and healthcare spending (6x what we see in our general poverty relief programs).

  • Cash is helping women cover specific costs to access healthcare: insurance fees, transportation, and clinic bills.

  • We’re expanding to reach more women in Kenya and piloting a similar model in DRC to learn what works across different contexts.
