Religious leaders, health officials and development partners in Kenya have launched a national interfaith platform aimed at addressing persistent gaps in maternal, adolescent and family health, positioning faith institutions as central actors in shaping community health outcomes.

The initiative, known as the Interfaith National Hub on Family Health and Wellbeing, was unveiled in Nairobi on April 23 and brings together major religious bodies, government representatives and civil society organizations in a coordinated effort to improve access to care and influence health-seeking behavior at the community level.

The hub is led by Faith to Action Network in partnership with national faith umbrella groups, including the National Council of Churches of Kenya, the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims.

Peter Munene, the Chief Executive Officer of Faith to Action Network, said the initiative marks a shift toward more unified engagement across sectors.
