The Care · Prevent · Sustain Approach
How SoleGuard Alliance transforms complex cycles of zoonotic disease and poverty into lasting health, dignified homes, and youth prosperity.
Care
Respond to immediate needs by treating people and animals, with dignity and compassion. We don't judge or stigmatize; we provide gentle, sterile clinical relief.
- Door-to-door jigger extraction & antiseptic wash
- Mobile veterinary rabies & deworming clinics
- Emergency rescue for abused or injured animals
Prevent
Address root causes through better housing, hygiene, humane animal care and education. If the sand fleas have no habitat, the disease cannot return.
- Permanent sealing of earthen floors in homes
- Closed-toe shoe kits & school hygiene clubs
- Constructing separate, ventilated animal housing
Sustain
Build local skills, youth enterprises and partnerships with government so progress lasts. The local community becomes self-reliant and financially invested.
- Youth masonry & floor sealing cooperatives
- Para-vets supervised by County Veterinary Officers
- Village savings and loan associations (VSLAs)
Our Six Cross-Cutting Commitments
Integrated into every project proposal, field activity, and partner engagement.
One Health Framework
We treat human, animal and environmental health as one connected system. You cannot cure a community while ignoring the animals they live alongside or the dust floors they sleep on.
Gender Equality & Young Women
We prioritize women and girls as leaders, health champions, and masonry artisans. Over 50% of our trained youth builders and para-vets are young women breaking stereotypes.
Disability & Elderly Inclusion
We intentionally design mobile clinics and door-to-door screenings to reach persons with mobility disabilities and the elderly who cannot travel to regional facilities.
Child Protection First
Every programme puts the safety, physical integrity, and rights of children first. Strict safeguarding training, ethical photography policies, and school-based protection clubs.
Climate & Environmental Resilience
We promote clean, thermally comfortable, sustainable homes and environmentally friendly parasitic washes that safeguard local soils and water sources.
Government & Health System Partnership
We align with Kenyan national and county development plans. Rather than creating parallel systems, we strengthen County Veterinary Services and Community Health Promoters (CHPs).
