About Radienya Community Based Organization
A comprehensive overview of our organization, mission, and the transformative impact we're making in Homa Bay County
Our Story
Radienya Community Based Organization was founded with a vision to address the critical healthcare gaps in rural Homa Bay County. Located strategically in Kodumba Center along the Ruma National Park Road, our organization has grown from a small community initiative to a comprehensive healthcare provider serving over 15,000 people annually.
Our flagship project, Radienya Community Hospital, stands as a testament to what communities can achieve when they come together with a shared vision. The 45-bed facility, equipped with modern medical equipment and staffed by qualified healthcare professionals, provides both inpatient and outpatient services to our community.
Beyond the hospital walls, our extensive community outreach programs ensure that healthcare reaches every corner of our catchment area. Through mobile clinics, community health workers, and health education programs, we're breaking down barriers to healthcare access and empowering communities to take charge of their health.
