Support Initiative
The introduction of cancer screening at existing Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) centers and family planning clinics has been recommended. Furthermore, individuals who are unable to afford healthcare face a disproportionate impact, as financial barriers often prevent access to necessary treatment, resulting in higher mortality rates from the disease. There is a stark gap in diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes between Kenyans who can pay for private hospitals and those who cannot; lack of affordable screening and check-ups leads to quicker fatalities. Siele noted that although healthcare is a right for every Kenyan, high costs mean many are unable to access it.

Community center with comprehensive wellness services

In addition to prioritizing patient wellness, our objective is to develop a community center that addresses the needs of a broad spectrum of families. The center will offer a range of services, including medical screenings and referrals, medical camps, rehabilitation, and shelter, among others. This comprehensive approach is intended to enhance our wellness initiatives and foster hope among participants.

By providing educational, wellness, vocational training, and nutritional programs, the center will support recovering patients and their families, with particular emphasis on children, women, and vulnerable individuals from nearby communities. Our primary focus is on education, enabling children and young adults to access opportunities for advancement. To facilitate this, we plan to include a fully equipped library and gym within the center, as well as dormitory accommodation for families in need. Through collaboration with local partners, we are confident that we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of numerous families.
