INVESTMENT STORY
Bringing Community Health Clinics to Kenya
by Jacqueline Novogratz
The SHEF clinic in the tiny village called Gichoinjini, near Embu, is located at the end of a long dirt road, lined by tin-roofed shanties on either side. The clinic’s fresh green and gold paint, the gossamer door covering and the happy lettering of its sign send a message of confidence and safety.
