The ICA Foundation has partnered with two individual organizations in Kenya.

Marie Stopes International

Marie Stopes International-Kenya (MSK) aims to provide long-acting reversible contraceptives to marginalized, and hard to reach women through the MSK service delivery and outreach sites. ICA Foundation’s partnership with MSK began in 2005, and a total of 6,840LNG IUS have been donated so far. Marie Stopes International in Kenya works with the Ministry of Health to provide sexual and reproductive healthcare services through clinics across the country. Condom donation, emergency contraception and male circumcision programs are ongoing within the country; incorporation of LNG IUS training, insertion and counseling is a natural addition to their range of clinic services.

FHI360

In 2011, FHI360 and Mathare North Health Center, a public sector facility in the slums of Nairobi, received a donation of 200 LNG IUS to integrate into their family planning method mix. FHI360 is a global health and development non-governmental organization whose science-based programs bring lasting change to the world's most vulnerable people. With this donation from the ICA Foundation, FHI360 aims to examine uptake, satisfaction, and product retention of the LNG IUS along with other contraceptive methods for a period of one year. Activities to secure continued donations and distribution of the LNG IUS will be made in the near future.
