One UK charity
dedicated to supporting hospice care throughout Kenya.
Four connected priorities
community care, children, service development and training.
Vision and mission
Comfort, dignity and hope for every family
Their vision: a Kenya where everyone with an incurable illness can live well until the end, die with dignity and be free from pain.
Their mission: to ease suffering and improve the experience of life, death and grief for children, adults and their families.
What they do
Making compassionate palliative care possible
Hospice Care Kenya works with hospices, hospitals, healthcare professionals and communities so that more people can receive the right care, wherever they live.
Community care
Home visits, community volunteers and support groups help people who are housebound, isolated or far from healthcare facilities.
Children’s palliative care
Specialist pain relief, symptom management and emotional support help children and their families face serious illness together.
Expanding access
Partnerships strengthen palliative care services, reach underserved areas and advocate for reliable access to pain relief.
Training people
Doctors, nurses and community volunteers gain the skills to provide high-quality, compassionate care in more communities.
Their impact
Care changes what is possible
Every visit, trained healthcare worker and dose of pain relief can mean more comfort, more dignity and more time together.
Their latest year of impact was made possible by friends and donors who chose to stand alongside families facing life-limiting illness.
