National Nurses Association of Kenya
About Us

Nurse Welfare & Community

We have a system to support members through a social welfare program, and we initiate evidence-based projects to address community needs. From welfare support and accredited training to clinical research partnerships, the Association's work for members runs alongside its work for the communities they serve.

How We Give Back

Eight Ways We Make a Difference

Our community programme is built around eight pillars — each one a genuine commitment, not a tick-box exercise.

  • Social Welfare

    A system to support members through a social welfare program, including the Girl Child Education Fund for deceased members.

  • Training Opportunities

    Accredited CPD training, online and on site, with CPD points that count towards licence renewal.

  • Research Partnerships

    Partnerships with research organizations to conduct clinical research and generate evidence-based nursing practices.

  • Community Projects

    Evidence-based projects initiated by the Association to address community needs.

  • Global Affiliation

    Memberships in global networks including ICN and ICM, and regional forums such as ECSACON.

  • Specialty Chapters

    Thirteen chapters bringing together members of a given specialty to reinforce evidence-based practices.

  • Advocacy

    Advocating for policy change and improvement on behalf of all cadres of nurses in Kenya.

  • Recognition

    Recognition of your practice as a nurse, including Association awards and conference participation.

Real Stories

Our Impact in Action

Welfare, training and research only mean something when they translate into real support for members. Here are three examples of how the Association delivers on that.

Social Welfare

The Social Welfare Programme & Girl Child Education Fund

We have a system to support members through a social welfare program. Within it sits the Girl Child Education Fund (GCEF), which supports the education of girls whose parent was a member of the Association and has since passed away.

  • Member support through the social welfare programme
  • Girl Child Education Fund (GCEF) for deceased members
  • Evidence-based projects that address community needs
Training

Career Growth Through Training Opportunities

Accredited Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training for both online and on site with accredited CPD Points for license renewal and career progression — delivered through the NNAK Academy.

  • Accredited CPD points for licence renewal
  • Delivered both online and on site
  • Wound care, BLS, ACLS, NCLEX and IELTS programmes
Research

Advancing Modern Nursing Practices Through Research

The Association partners with various research organizations to conduct clinical research with the aim of generating evidence-based Nursing Practices.

  • Partnerships with research organizations
  • Clinical research generating evidence-based practice
  • Findings shared through chapters and scientific conferences
Welfare & Support

Supporting Every Member

The Association maintains a system to support members through a social welfare program, and initiates evidence-based projects that address community needs.

The Social Welfare Programme

Membership of the Association carries more than professional recognition. Through the social welfare programme, members can access support at difficult moments in their lives and careers — one of the benefits that comes with an active subscription.

Contact the national secretariat for details of what the programme covers and how to make a claim.

Social Welfare — Member Benefit

Girl Child Education Fund

The Girl Child Education Fund (GCEF) supports the education of girls whose parent was a member of the Association and has since passed away — so that the loss of a nurse does not also mean the loss of a daughter's education.

Community Projects

Beyond member welfare, the Association initiates evidence-based projects that address community needs — bringing nursing expertise to bear on the health priorities of the communities our members serve.
