In 2007 AMURT and AMURTEL launched the Kekeli Movement in Mafi Zongo, one of the four areas in Ghana where we support community-managed health programs. Kekeli means "brightness", symbolizing the light of knowledge that the thirty-two Kekeli health promoters bring to the rural communities. The Kekeli women are trained in health hygiene, sanitation, disease prevention and women's health. They have asked for more blood pressure cuffs and stethoscopes to better monitor the health of their fellow villagers. They also require bicycles for home visits, and to attend local churches where they give talks on healthcare.
