Our History

Since our founding in 1971, we have been dedicated to transforming healthcare across East Africa. Established with the help of visionaries like Maddie De Mott, our journey began with creative fundraising efforts and a passion to make a difference. From our humble start, raising KES 232,180 and 1,359 memberships in our first year, we have provided emergency and charity evacuations for the less fortunate, growing into a pivotal force in medical outreach.

Over the past decade, we have also focused on tackling critical issues like fistula, offering free surgeries and providing training and equipment to local health professionals. With over KES 1 billion raised for our outreach programmes, we invite you to join us. Become a member or donate today to support our ongoing mission and be part of a legacy that uplifts and empowers communities. Your contribution is more than a donation; it’s a lifeline for countless lives.
