Kenia Feliz
May, 2010 - Kenia Feliz

Kenia Feliz is a changemaker who has been funded by World Connect and has made a meaningful difference in the health and well-being of children in her community. Kenia was elected by her community in the Dominican Republic to be a health promoter. Her job involves visiting mothers in the community to encourage them to seek prenatal care, visiting newborns in their homes within the first couple of days to educate mothers about breastfeeding and potential danger signs, keeping records of visits and seeking out mothers who do not return for follow-up, and visiting patients from the community when they are sent to the local hospital.

 

“This Mother’s Day, World Connect is pleased to honor Kenia Feliz as a role model and passionate champion for the well-being of women and children in her community,” added Sarah Henry, Executive Director of World Connect. “When we first met Kenia, she hadn’t finished high school. Now, she is pursuing her nursing degree and has countless medical trainings and certifications. She is not only a loving mother, but a respected and community leader.”
