Core offering

Reproductive Health Network Kenya (RHNK) is a coalition of over 600 trained healthcare providers across Kenya's 44 counties that delivers comprehensive Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) services directly to women, girls, and adolescents. Core offerings include family planning, maternal health, HIV care, and safe abortion care delivered through public and private healthcare facilities, supported by a 24/7 toll-free call center (Nena na Binti) and a network of over 200 trained youth peer providers in peri-urban areas. The organization also runs programs in advocacy, evidence generation, movement building, gender equality in workplaces, and youth leadership development.

Product overview

Reproductive Health Network Kenya (RHNK) operates as a coalition of health professionals offering a portfolio of interconnected SRHR programs and campaigns rather than a single product. The core service offering centers on Nena na Binti, a 24/7 toll-free call center providing confidential SRHR information and services. This is complemented by six programmatic areas: Service Delivery, Advocacy, Adolescent and Youth Engagement, Evidence and Research Generation, Movement Building, and Gender Equality at the Workplace. Additionally, RHNK runs three campaigns (Chaguo Mkononi, Gender Equality at the Workplace, and Nena na Binti as a campaign initiative) and organizes the annual Pan-African AYSRHR Scientific Conference. The Pan-African Youth Leadership Academy provides a fellowship component. Together, these offerings form a comprehensive SRHR ecosystem addressing service provision, advocacy, research, and youth empowerment across Kenya.
