Counties with Lowest Teen Pregnancy Rates in 2025

Recent statistics from the Economic Survey published in April 2026 reveal concerning trends in adolescent reproductive health across Kenya. Nationwide data shows a notable increase, with teen pregnancies climbing from 224,333 cases in 2025 to 235,938 in 2026. This escalation among females aged 10 to 19 presents a developing issue for government officials and medical professionals throughout the country’s 47 counties. Despite the nationwide increase, certain areas have maintained comparatively lower incidence rates. Lamu County reported the fewest teen pregnancy cases nationally, with 850 instances. Taita Taveta and Isiolo follow with 1,307 and 1,344 cases, respectively. These statistics indicate that as national figures rise, some coastal and arid areas are experiencing lower levels of adolescent pregnancies relative to other parts of the nation. The central highlands and sections of the Rift Valley show numbers that are focused yet below the national mean. Nyandarua recorded 1,533 cases, closely matched by Nyeri with 1,588 and Kirinyaga at 1,865. Moving eastward, Embu reported 2,041 instances. The final positions of the bottom ten list contain Samburu with 2,172 cases and Elgeyo Marakwet with 2,111 cases. Marsabit completes the group with 2,360 teen pregnancy cases. Although these counties report the lowest totals nationwide, the overall increase of more than 11,000 cases across the country within a single year marks a crucial juncture for intervention in adolescent well-being.
