The Beyond Zero Initiative today joined partners, cancer survivors, caregivers, dignitaries and members of the public at the KENCOGlobal Relay For Life Kenya 2026 at the Ulinzi Sports Complex, in a powerful show of solidarity in the fight against cancer.
Held during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the event brought together people united by a common purpose: to celebrate cancer survivorship, remember loved ones lost to the disease and take action against cancer through increased awareness, prevention and early detection.
Beyond Zero’s participation is in line with its commitment to strengthening cancer awareness, prevention and early detection, while supporting efforts that bring health information and services closer to communities. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #EarlyDetectionSavesLives

Approximately 99% of breast cancers occur in women and 0.5–1% of breast cancers occur in men.
The treatment of #BreastCancer in men follows the same principles of management as for women bit.ly/46YtiIa

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
This year’s theme, “Every story is unique, every journey matters,” reminds us that behind every breast cancer diagnosis is a person, a family and an individual journey.
Know the signs. Seek care promptly. Support every journey.

When you give a young person an opportunity to train as a health professional, the impact extends far beyond that individual. A family benefits. A community benefits and ultimately, the health system becomes stronger ~ Former First Lady Margaret Kenyatta

Former First Lady and Patron of the Beyond Zero Initiative, Her Excellency Margaret Kenyatta, has urged nursing scholars to turn their education into a lifelong commitment to serving communities. She noted that the true measure of their scholarship would not be the certificates they earn, but the lives they touch through quality and compassionate healthcare.

Speaking at the @Kmtc_official Nairobi Campus during the 2026 Beyond Zero Nursing Scholarship Cohort Engagement, Margaret said the scholarship represented an investment not only in the students, but also in families, communities, and Kenya’s wider health system.

KMTC CEO Dr. Kelly Oluoch described the scholarship as “much more than financial assistance,” while Jacqueline Wambua, General Manager, East Africa, @Roche Kenya Limited, said the partnership is addressing both the need for skilled healthcare professionals and financial barriers to nursing education.
The 80 scholars now begin their training with the opportunity to contribute to stronger healthcare services in their communities.

Keeping girls in school starts with ensuring they have the support they need to manage their health with dignity. Beyond Zero, in partnership with the West Pokot County Department of Health, has expanded its menstrual health programme to more schools in the hard-to-reach and underserved areas of North Pokot, reaching 1,000 adolescent girls with period packs and essential health education.
#MenstrualDignity #KeepingGirlsInSchool #endperiodpoverty
The girls also participated in health talks covering harmful cultural practices, sex education and general hygiene, equipping them with knowledge to make informed choices and safeguard their wellbeing.
The programme reached Woyakol, Kameris, Alale Mixed, Nauyapong, Lobiroi, AIC Naigwoilap, AIC Mbaru, Losam, Kamila, Sivicholol, AIC Akinamel, Kauriong, Chelopoy and Konyao Arid Zone Comprehensive Schools.

The intervention reflects Beyond Zero’s commitment, under its Strategic Plan, to advancing the health, dignity and wellbeing of women and girls by taking essential interventions closer to communities that remain underserved and difficult to reach.

Beyond Zero Initiative, in partnership with Shinnyo-en and the Embu County Department of Health, has handed over and commissioned a newly acquired portable colposcope to strengthen access to cervical cancer diagnostic assessment and follow-up services across the county.
#EarlyDetectionSavesLives
The handover, held at the CECM for Health’s office, brought together county health officials, healthcare professionals, partners and other stakeholders.
The handover forms part of Beyond Zero’s wider three-year cervical cancer prevention project and was accompanied by practical training for healthcare workers on the safe and effective use of the device.
By bringing diagnostic assessment closer to women, particularly those requiring further evaluation following an abnormal screening result, the partnership seeks to reduce access barriers, strengthen referral and follow-up pathways, and support more timely care within communities.
