Family on Mfangano Island waiting for care across Lake Victoria

Mfangano Island · Lake Victoria, Kenya

When the clinic is a boat ride away, families are left behind.

Only about a quarter of island families can afford basic healthcare. Without someone who comes to them, a treatable condition becomes a crisis.

About Us

A charity organization working where the mainland can't easily reach.

Only a quarter of Mfangano Island's families can afford basic healthcare, and the mainland is a boat ride away in an emergency. We close that gap directly: medication, home visits, and counseling delivered in partnership with the Ministry of Health.
