Vision for Kenya, NFP, focuses on bringing life-saving medical equipment and supplies to missions, hospitals and clinics in rural parts of Kenya.
The goal of the organization is primarily to find donors, and coordinate the transportation and distribution of medical equipment and supplies. These distributions are based on the specific needs of each mission, hospital or clinic being supported and tailored to meet the specific needs in each particular region of the country.
We work hand in hand with the various missions, hospitals and clinics to ensure that we not only meet their immediate needs, but also make a long lasting contribution that will continue to work for their individual communities for years to come.
The medical equipment and supplies donated go towards treating patients in the rural areas at a minimal cost, bringing much-needed relief to the region’s health care facilities.
We are a voluntary based organization based in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States of America.
The hospital serves Lugulu Division in Bungoma district of western province
in the republic of Kenya. The area is inhabited by subsitance farmers
who just grow enough for food, with very little surplus to sale for cash
topay for other nesessary basic needs.
