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.
We partner with local Kenyan health care organizations and provide funding,
medical volunteers and strategic guidance.
Together, we are empowering and saving lives, and transforming the health care
landscape for thousands of locals in rural Kenya.
Every dollar you donate goes directly to the programs we support in Kenya
Our partners employ leadership and staff from local communities in Kenya
We measure and assess our investments, and visit local sites regularly
In just 4 years, our partners in Kenya have gone from covering 12% of the hospital’s expenses to 87%
100% of the first graduating cohort of the Mary Ann van Dam Nursing School passed their national exams! Help make the college dream come true for more rural students by sponsoring a nursing scholarship!
