Abstract
This research produced new knowledge towards the creation of an education model for building health care capacity in marginalized communities in Kenya, and developed a new Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Community Health Education (CHE). Community health professionals in resource poor communities such as the protracted refugee situation in Dadaab, need education and training: impacted by social, cultural, economic and environmental conditions, significant health issues and challenges in Dadaab include skilled delivery of mothers; maternal, infant, and under-five mortality; female genital mutilation; toilets and garbage management; and the quality of clinical care at health facilities.
