We train barbers on essential prostate health knowledge,  enabling them to become everyday advocates for men’s health. By equipping them with facts about early warning signs, testing, and treatment options, barbers become trusted health messengers within their communities, businesses and clients.

To support the barbers’ advocacy role, we provide barbershops with branded health materials, customized barber capes, and in-shop signage—all co-branded with corporate partners. This visibility reinforces key health messages and ensures clients have access to brochures and flyers they can take home to read, learn and understand more about prostate health and prostate cancer.

In a bold effort to make health education accessible and discreet, we developed an AI-assisted questionnaire linked to a QR code. When scanned, it quickly assesses an individual’s risk of prostate cancer. These QR codes are being placed strategically in public male restrooms including pubs, malls, and stadiums—where men can scan them privately and get instant feedback and resources.

Format: Informal monthly gatherings in local eateries, community centers
Goal: Create a safe space for men to talk about health, masculinity, fatherhood, stress, and prostate health—with tea and mandazi (or beer, depending on the vibe).
Why it works: Men are more open in relaxed environments. It builds trust and opens the door for health conversations and early testing advocacy.

Currently at design stage, the ManVan is a mobile health unit designed to take prostate screening and health education directly to underserved areas. The van will travel across counties providing on-site testing, consultation, and referrals—bridging the gap between awareness and access.

This is a hospital & health facility partnership program.To integrate prostate cancer awareness, screening, and early intervention into routine healthcare services across Kenya, Blue Ribbon Initiatives partners through strategic collaborations with hospitals, clinics, and medical labs.

We offer engaging, evidence-based health talks during corporate lunch hours to educate teams on prostate health, nutrition, and lifestyle habits. These sessions are designed to spark open conversations, increase awareness, and encourage proactive health checks among working men.
