Hospice Care Kenya is a registered UK charity bringing compassion, comfort and care to children and adults living and dying with a life-limiting illness throughout Kenya. We are the only UK charity dedicated to supporting hospice care in Kenya.
At Hospice Care Kenya, we are dedicated to improving access to palliative care for those who need it most. In Kenya, many people with life-limiting illnesses face significant barriers to receiving care, with limited resources and a shortage of trained healthcare professionals. Without access to palliative care, many endure unnecessary pain and suffering.
For over 30 years, we have worked alongside Kenyan partners to change this. We raise funds in the UK to support hospices across Kenya, enabling them to provide compassionate, high-quality palliative care to patients in their communities. By supporting hospices financially, we empower nurses to use their expertise to deliver and develop essential services where they are most needed.
While our focus is on strengthening care at the community level, we also share the insights and experiences gained from our work, helping to inform and inspire palliative care development in Africa and beyond. By working in partnership and spreading learning, we aim to ensure that more people can access the care and dignity they deserve.
