Be sure to visit 'ROHO,' a photo exhibit from Samantha Jaffe (SOC '27) about her study abroad experience in Kenya through the AU Abroad Nairobi program. The photos are available to view through October 12 in the Katzen Center.

In her 6 1/2 months there, one of the most formative experiences was spending a month with SHOFCO's Makina Clinic and WASH Department in Kibera, the largest urban informal settlement in Africa. She attended community stakeholder dialogues, conducted door-to-door household surveys, shadowed clinicians, and supported pharmaceutical and laboratory operations. Through this experience she gained a deeper appreciation for both the complexities of Kenya's healthcare system and the vital role community organizations play in expanding access to healthcare and other essential services.
