For three years, Kilifi County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) has been at the forefront of providing timely emergency care to residents across the county.

Behind every emergency response is a dedicated team, from the dispatch desk and medical responders to the ambulance drivers who navigate traffic, long distances and challenging roads to get patients to care safely and on time.

Over the past three years, EMS has continued to grow, strengthen emergency response and bring critical care closer to the people of Kilifi County Government. Every response, every patient reached and every life supported is a reflection of the dedication and commitment of the teams on the ground.

…because of EMS, every call represents a person who needs help.

👉🏽Three years of responding.
👉🏽Three years of serving.
👉🏽Three years of saving lives.

Happy 3rd Anniversary to the entire Kilifi County EMS team! Thank you for your courage, dedication and commitment to serving our people, often under immense pressure and in challenging circumstances. Your work matters, and today we celebrate every responder who continues to answer the call.

Innovation isn’t just about technology. It’s about finding new ways to overcome barriers, express ourselves, create and inspire others.

Today, on , we celebrate Amani Ali, a talented musician from Kibarani Ward whose journey is a powerful testament to creativity, resilience and possibility.

After losing his sight, Amani found a new sense of purpose through music. What began as a source of comfort and courage has grown into a dream of building his own musical band and using his talent to connect with, inspire and bring hope to his community.

Through digital skills gained under the DigiKen Digital Literacy Programme, and now through the Gender Transformative Mentorship Programme for Entrepreneurs, Amani is taking steps towards turning that dream into reality.

To Amani, and to every young person using their creativity, talent and passion to reshape the future: keep creating, keep believing, and keep inspiring.

The future is listening. 🎵
