In Kenya, an estimated 1.2 million people with mobility impairments need wheelchairs, yet many lack access to appropriate, affordable, and durable models. Wheelchairs are vital for enabling individuals with disabilities to participate in education, employment, healthcare, and social activities, positively impacting their quality of life and that of their caregivers. Key Facts about Wheelchairs in Kenya: Prevalence of Mobility Impairment: Approximately 1.2 million people in Kenya are estimated to have mobility impairments and require wheelchairs. Limited Access: A significant number of those needing wheelchairs lack access to appropriate, well-fitted, and durable models. Impact on Daily Life: Wheelchairs are essential for individuals with mobility limitations to access education, employment, healthcare, and social participation. Local Production and Challenges: While Kenya produces some wheelchairs locally, the quality can be inconsistent and may not meet the diverse needs of users. Importance of Fit and Functionality: Wheelchairs need to be suitable for the user's body size, weight, and the environment they live in. Health and Social Implications: Lack of access to wheelchairs can lead to serious health complications like pressure sores and infections, and it can also result in social isolation. Global Statistics: According to global statistics, the percentage of people living with disabilities in Kenya is likely higher than the 2.2% reported in the 2019 census. Cost and Affordability: Wheelchair prices in Kenya range from around Ksh 11,500 for basic models to Ksh 25,000 or more for specialized or heavy-duty wheelchairs
In Kenya, a significant portion of women and girls face challenges accessing sanitary pads due to affordability and availability, contributing to period poverty. While the Kenyan government has taken steps to address this, including removing taxes on pads and providing free pads in schools, many still struggle with access and proper disposal methods. Key Facts about Sanitary Pads in Kenya: Affordability: A large percentage of women and girls in Kenya cannot afford sanitary pads. A 2022 study by the World Bank Group and Global Water Security & Sanitation Partnership found that 65% of women and girls in Kenya cannot afford them. Impact on Education: Period poverty, the inability to afford or access sanitary products, leads to school absenteeism for girls. Some girls miss up to four days of school per month. Alternative Materials: Due to the high cost or unavailability of sanitary pads, many girls and women resort to using unhygienic alternatives like rags, old cloths, and other makeshift materials. Government Initiatives: The Kenyan government has taken steps to improve access, including repealing the value-added tax on sanitary pads and providing free pads in schools. Disposal Challenges: Many schools lack proper facilities for disposing of sanitary pads, leading to girls burying them or using unsafe disposal methods. Social Stigma: Menstruation and menstrual hygiene management are often shrouded in secrecy and stigma in Kenya, hindering open discussions and access to support. Reusable Pads: Some organizations are promoting reusable sanitary pads as a more sustainable and affordable option. Community-based solutions: Various organizations are working to address period poverty through education, awareness campaigns, and the provision of affordable sanitary products.
