The QuickFix Learning Hub is leading a groundbreaking initiative to equip 2,025 Kenyans with life-saving bleeding control skills in 2025. Through STOP THE BLEED® Kenya, we provide free hands-on training across all 47 counties, empowering individuals to take action in emergencies before professional help arrives. This initiative aligns with SDG 3 (Good Health & Well-being) by reducing preventable deaths and fostering a culture of preparedness. With internationally accredited trainers and strategic partnerships, we are making bleeding control education accessible to communities nationwide.

STOP THE BLEED® Kenya Initiative aims to equip Kenyans with lifesaving bleeding control skills, empowering bystanders to act effectively in emergencies such as road crashes, workplace injuries, and community incidents.

By training 2,025 Kenyans in bleeding control, we aim to:

  • Increase bystander intervention rates
  • Reduce preventable preventable deaths from severe bleeding
  • Empower communities to act during emergencies

across workplaces & communities.

A person can bleed to death in as fast as: 3 to 5 minutes.

Why This Matters? Uncontrolled bleeding is one of the leading causes of preventable deaths in injury cases. In Kenya, road accidents, workplace hazards, and violent injuries contribute significantly to emergency fatalities.

Our training model:

  • Introduction (5 mins): Overview of bleeding control and its importance
  • Hands-on Demonstration (20 mins): Step-by-step training on essential techniques
  • Guided Participant Practice (25 mins): Hands-on skill-building using provided supplies
  • Q&A and Feedback (10 mins): Open discussion and reinforcement of key skills

Impact of our initiative

Empowered communities mean reduced strain on emergency services and faster response times.

A single trained bystander can potentially assist multiple victims in an emergency, amplifying the impact of the training.

What we teach

Each session follows a structured approach to ensure practical skill acquisition and confidence in handling bleeding emergencies.
