Jipange Community Network mobilizes over 500 trained Community Health Volunteers across Bomet County to fight malaria, TB, HIV, and gender-based violence — household by household, baraza by baraza.
Jipange — Swahili for organize yourself — is a registered community-based organization in Bomet County, Kenya. We believe that communities, when equipped with knowledge, skills, and peer support, have the power to protect themselves from disease and injustice.
Working through our trained Community Health Volunteers, we reach every household to fight malaria, detect TB early, prevent HIV, and protect survivors of gender-based violence.
From malaria nets to GBV referrals — Jipange CHVs are trained, equipped, and deployed across Bomet County to deliver integrated health services at every door.
Door-to-door CHV visits, ITN distribution, baraza campaigns, and rapid diagnostic testing to stop malaria at the household level.
Active case finding, cough-hygiene education, patient follow-up, and direct referral to government health facilities.
Community HIV testing, PLHIV support groups, stigma-reduction campaigns, and ART linkage and follow-up.
GBV and FGM awareness barazas, safe referral training for CHVs, and survivor linkage to GBV centres and police desks.
Community Health Volunteers are the heartbeat of Jipange. Each CHV serves their own neighbourhood — conducting household visits, running rapid malaria tests, identifying TB symptoms, providing HIV counselling, and linking GBV survivors to help. They are their community first responders.
Jipange works in partnership with HERN (Highland Endemic Region Network) and AMREF Health Africa — combining community knowledge with national health expertise for lasting impact in Bomet County.
Whether you want to volunteer, refer a community member, partner with us, or support our work — Jipange is organized and ready.
