Dr. May Maloba, Chief Executive Director

Dear Colleagues, Partners, and Friends,

As we cross the midpoint of 2025, I find myself deeply moved by the resilience that continues to define our work and our people. The last Quarter presented no shortage of challenges; funding cuts, staff shortages, supply disruptions, and even moments of industrial action that stretched the health system to its limits.

Yet, in the midst of these pressures, GHI’s staff, our county partners, and the communities we serve stood firm. You demonstrated, once again, that resilience is not merely about surviving difficulties, but about adapting, innovating, and growing stronger in the process.

Despite the hurdles, we celebrate significant milestones. Our cervical cancer screening outcomes remain encouraging, mentorship sessions for health workers flourished, and our stakeholder engagements deepened, even under stress.

Counties like Busia, Siaya, and Kilifi reminded us of the power of collaboration, showing that when commitment is shared, disruptions do not define the outcome, resilience does.

I want to commend every team member who, despite uncertainty, chose to move forward with hope and determination. Each action, whether mentoring a nurse, ensuring a referral is completed, troubleshooting system downtime, or standing shoulder-to-shoulder with county leadership, represents the heart of GHI’s impact. These quiet yet profound acts of dedication make all the difference.

The last Quarter tested us. But it also revealed that our strength lies not in avoiding difficulties, but in navigating them with courage and creativity. As we look ahead, let us carry this spirit of resilience into the months to come. Together, we will continue to adapt, to lead, and to ensure that our vision of healthier families remains within reach for the women, children, and communities we serve.

With gratitude and resolve,
Dr. May Maloba
Chief Executive Director
