Community Palliative Care
We are collaborating with sixteen hospice and palliative care partners across Kenya to bring essential care to communities, from Kwale in the south, to Garissa in the east and Busia in the far west. Our support ensures that patients receive vital pain relief, including morphine and other essential medicines, while also enabling home visits and support groups for patients and their families. We are working to raise awareness of cancer and palliative care, ensuring more people access the help they need. Additionally, we support Joanna’s House, a vital accommodation facility in Nairobi that provides families with a place to stay while their loved ones undergo cancer treatment.
Our impact last year:
“I found a lot of help from palliative care. All the stress I had before I started receiving care from the hospice has gone away. The pain I was going through has reduced, and because of the money I was given for transport, I have not missed any of my chemotherapy sessions. They told me not to give up, they gave me courage, they never gave up on me, they loved me, they showed me care. I felt so happy and I felt that I still had the chance of living.”
