Past Tinamoi and through Mikuu, Sheila Chepkoi walks with her youngest child on her back and worry in her chest. From her home in Baringo County, in Kenya's Rift Valley, the nearest health facility is hours away on foot, and she has no money for transport. She walks because she knows what a missed vaccine can cost her child.
GHAI developed practical, easy-to-follow resources and outreach guidance to help partners educate planning committees, venue operators, hotels, restaurants, hospitality groups and public safety teams, all with the same goal: overdose response built into match day readiness before the first whistle.
