Dear Friend,

As a mother and wife, I cherish time spent with my family. My children remind me how blessed I am to be a mother. Sadly, for thousands of mothers in Kenya and around the world, having a child is tantamount to a death sentence; thousands of children in our country grow up without the love and

care of a mother.

I am deeply saddened by the fact that women and children in our country die from causes that can be avoided. The number of preventable deaths among young children is alarming; in 2012 alone, over

100,000 infants died in Kenya – the majority not making it to their first birthday.

It doesn’t have to be this way. There are many solutions that could save our mothers and children from dying needlessly. Elimination of HIV among children while keeping their mothers alive, provision

of better prenatal, delivery and postnatal services will go a long way to reduce maternal mortality. Further, ensuring that there are adequate skilled birth attendants to educate and support women and their babies during pregnancy, childbirth and after birth will greatly reduce maternal deaths. Timely

access to antiretroviral treatment, Immunization against early childhood diseases like pneumonia and measles, distribution of insecticide-treated mosquito nets to prevent malaria and exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life will ensure that our babies survive beyond 5 years.

I am convinced that we have the means and know-how to achieve a significant decline in maternal and child deaths within our lifetime. This is why I am launching the “Beyond Zero Campaign” which seeks

to bring prenatal and postnatal medical treatment to less privileged women and children in Kenya. Through this initiative I will provide fully equipped mobile clinics along with other basic medical

equipment to each of the 47 counties in Kenya.

I look forward to working with you on to galvanize support for this project that will enable us to stamp out unwarranted deaths suffered at childbirth. Let us roll up our sleeves and work together to get the

numbers beyond zero!

Please join me in support of this very important cause.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Margaret KenyattaFirst Lady, the Republic of Kenya

Why the Beyond Zero Campaign?Over 5,500 women in Kenya die annually due to pregnancy and birth related complications. In 2012 alone, over 100,000 children below age five died before their first birthday. In the same year, there were over 13,000 new HIV infections among children, of whom 62% did not access life-saving medication.

The health of mothers and children, particularly newborns, is closely linked. Research by World Vision International has shown that if a mother dies, her child is ten times more likely to die before the age of five than a child whose mother survives. Poor nutrition, preventable diseases such as malaria or HIV and AIDS and poor access to antenatal care contribute significantly to pregnancy related complications.

The First Lady committed during the 2013 Organisation of First Ladies against HIV and AIDS in Africa meeting held in Addis Ababa to champion the campaign to eliminate new HIV infections among children and keep their mothers alive. In December 2013 the First Lady launched a five year strategic framework to accelerate progress in HIV Control and promotion of maternal, Newborn and child health in Kenya.

In order for the Office of the First Lady to effectively deliver this commitment, the First Lady has launched the “Beyond Zero” Foundation. The Foundation will draw attention to challenges faced by disadvantaged Kenyans to end preventable deaths among women and children, and giving new impetus to the fight against HIV and AIDS.

In 2014, the First Lady’s campaign will focus on issues relating to HIV, maternal and child health. The campaign will focus on the need to address critical challenges that impede access to maternal and child health services.

Through the Beyond Zero Foundation, H.E the First Lady intends to support various activities that will result to

elimination of new HIV infections among children and promote overall maternal, new-born and children’s health.

Participation in the London Marathon (13 April, 2014)H.E the First Lady, has embarked on a mission to combat this unacceptable and preventable state of maternal and childhood mortality through a program that will increase access to HIV prevention, prenatal, postnatal care and treatment services to disadvantaged populations in all 47 Counties of Kenya.

To highlight the HIV, Maternal and Child Health challenges facing disadvantaged women and children in Kenya, the First Lady will participate in the 2014 London Marathon. H.E the First Lady seeks to leverage on the global platform provided by the 2014 London Marathon to raise visibility of the issues and, mobilize resources to accelerate access to services.

As a precursor to this event, an inaugural First Lady’s Half Marathon will be held to raise awareness and galvanise local support towards this cause. The two marathons will raise funds to improve access to HIV, maternal, newborn and children’s health through provision of mobile clinics, incubators, point of care diagnostic kits for early infant diagnosis oxygen concentrators and solar panels for all counties in Kenya.
