Our medical projects
Our Swiss Doctors treat people who cannot pay for private medical treatment in Kenya’s impoverished regions. Physiotherapy, nutrition programmes and the training of local staff complement our work.
Athi River
Thanks to the enormous engagement of the local team in Nairobi, we were able to open the out-patient clinic ‟Fanaka Health Centerˮ serving people in the slums surrounding the rapidly growing industrial city Athi River in 2020.
Kilifi
We concentrate on mother-child health in Kilifi County, one of Kenya’s poorest area. Mothers can finally safely give birth in the new labor room.
Korogocho
Approximately 200,000 people live at the edge of Kenya’s largest garbage dump, many of whom collect useful waste. Our volunteer doctors and the local team hold consultations here once a month.
Nairobi
We have been providing medical aid in the middle of one of Nairobi’s biggest slums for almost 25 years. We maintain a HIV program and a nutrition center for undernourished children in Mathare Valley.
Hot meals
For 13 Swiss francs per person, we can provide hot meals for a month to vulnerable people in our projects in Kenya. This helps to prevent malnutrition and the associated diseases.
