Abstract: In 1979 a community self help health development programme was initiated in Saradidi, Kenya, as the community's response to its problems. In line with the theoretical considerations made for the implementation of primary health care the community was involved in planning, organization, setting of priorities and objectives, implementation and evaluation of the programme. The Saradidi Health Development Project (SHDP) was initiated by people from the area with material assistance from within and outside Saradidi. Nearly 10 years since the beginning of the project, the SHDP still runs more or less on its own providing experiences for other projects and initiators.
