We are Tiba
We are a foundation that believes access to quality health care is a basic human right.
Unfortunately, in Kenya, access to quality health care is not an option for most.
Tiba is changing that.
Our Solution
We partner with local Kenyan health care organizations and provide strategic funding,
medical volunteers and specialized guidance.
Together, we are saving lives, transforming the health care
landscape and contributing to community and educational opportunities, which build a strong foundation for economic development in the rural areas we serve.
Our 100% Promise To You
100% DIRECT GIVING

100% LOCAL LEADERSHIP & STAFF

100% TRANSPARENCY

100% Commitment to Sustainability

Our Story
No one believed a comprehensive, community health care system - with a gold standard medical center at its heart - could be built. Our partnership with local leaders has made It happen! Let us tell you about it.
