Project Juani

Juani began in 2023 and was created to address the unmet healthcare needs of women in Sega, Kenya - a rural village approximately 1.5 hours by car from the city of Kisumu. Our name is derived from Swahili and literally means "in the sun" while the verb Kujua means "to know." We hope this project lives up to its name and brings knowledge, hope, and empowerment to the women of Sega so that they may experience many sunny days ahead. Juani was founded by a group of clinical and public health practitioners and women's health champions seeking to improve reproductive and maternal health outcomes in Siaya County. We have ties to the land, people, and culture of this village, and we hope you'll join us in bringing evidence-based medicine to the women and girls of Sega.
