A very special thank you to @mainachegemc for helping us bring The Butterfly Effect 2026, our annual Art4Life Auction, to life.🦋💛 You kept the evening moving, ran a wonderfully tight programme, kept everyone on their toes and made sure every raffle, bid and artwork got its moment. And somehow, by the end of the night, there was no artwork left behind.💛🎗️ Beyond that, thank you for taking the time to understand what Hope for Cancer Kids is about, sharing more about the work we do and encouraging everyone in the room to be part of it. We’re truly, truly grateful that you chose to stand with us and help make the evening what it was. Again, shukran, Maina. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take us through the night. 💛 #TheButterflyEffect2026 #Art4Life #HopeForCancerKids #ChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness

The Butterfly Effect, this year’s theme for our Art4Life Auction, came to life at @ankolegrill whose continued partnership has given us a home for this evening since 2022, generously opening their space to us, taking care of our guests and making the evening feel just as special as the cause we gather for. These are just a few of the pieces created during our Art Sessions every Thursday, from 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM, at Ward 1E, Kenyatta National Hospital. Through art, we create moments of distraction, self-expression and joy for the children, reminding them that they are not alone, and that we are in this together. 💛🎨 We started the evening with a wall full of art. By the end of the night, every single piece had found a home. 🦋💛 We’ll be sharing a few more highlights from The Butterfly Effect 2026. Thank you for being part of it.🎗️💛 #TheButterflyEffect2026 #Art4Life #HopeForCancerKids #ChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness

Every artwork found a home, and we’re so grateful to everyone who came together to make The Butterfly Effect 2026 such a special evening.🦋💛 To our partners, artists, guests, supporters and everyone who played a part, THANK YOU. Your generosity helps turn creativity into care for children and families affected by childhood cancer. And of course, a special shoutout to our MC, @mainachegemc , for keeping everyone on their toes and the energy just right throughout the evening. 🎤🦋💛 Until the next one.💛🎗️ @ankolegrill @liaisongroupltd @ikmadvocates @enashipairesort @hubeats_karen @trademarkhotel @rootsnairobi @aruka.holistic @proceragin @qboutiqueresortmalindi @masharubufurniture Cure for every child.

An auction was had… a time was definitely had. 🦋💛 Five years of hosting us, @ankolegrill, thank you for opening your doors to Hope for Cancer Kids and supporting this evening without expectation, year after year. We’re incredibly grateful. 🧡 And @mainachegemc, thank you for running such a strict programme 😅, keeping everyone on their toes and making sure the evening flowed beautifully. And somehow, we literally had no art left behind! 🎤🦋 Most importantly, thank you to everyone who showed up, listened to our journey, bid, bought, donated, supported and made the night what it was. What a night. What a community. What a reminder of what happens when we come together. 💛 #TheButterflyEffect2026 #HopeForCancerKids #Art4Life #TogetherWeCreateHope #ChildhoodCancer

“We want our children to be children.” — @kanyiohawa 💛 Thank you, @davidmuriithi, for the visit and your support.🎗️ In our final part, we take you on a tour of 1 Hope House and the spaces created to give children and their caregivers a safe, comfortable place to stay while they seek treatment in Nairobi. This may be just one house, but it represents a much bigger vision, a future where more families have a place to stay, feel supported and know they are not alone. 💛 #HopeForCancerKids #OneHopeHouse #ChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

Hope grows when we keep showing up. 💛 Childhood cancer journeys can be long, and families need support along the way. With M-PESA Ratiba, you can choose to give a small amount every month, from KES 100, helping us provide continued support to children and their families when they need it most.💛🎗️ Cure for every child. Care for every family. #HopeForCancerKids #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancer #MPESARatiba #GiveMonthly

Why 1 Hope House? For children and families travelling from outside Nairobi for treatment, finding a safe place to stay can be another challenge they have to face. In Part Three, @kanyiohawa and @davidmuriithi talk about why 1 Hope House was created, the families it supports, and our vision to grow into a larger space that can accommodate even more children and their caregivers. This is just the beginning. 💛 3/4 #HopeForCancerKids #OneHopeHouse #ChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMont

A small monthly contribution can help provide ongoing support where it’s needed, from transport and medical tests to other essential needs. From KES 100 a month, you can help us be there, consistently. Set up your M-PESA Ratiba today and be part of creating care, support and hope for children and families affected by childhood cancer. Cure for every child. Care for every family. #HopeForCancerKids #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancer #MPESARatiba #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

In Part Two, we take @davidmuriithi through the story of Hope for Cancer Kids, from our beginnings in 2008, to how the organisation has evolved and the work we do today. We explore how this journey led to 1 Hope House, and how creating a home-away-from-home has added another layer of support for children and families affected by childhood cancer. This conversation helps explain why we continue to do what we do, why reaching more people matters, and why building a larger community of support is so important as we work towards better care for children battling cancer in Kenya, while giving hope and support to their families. 2/4 #HopeForCancerKids #OneHopeHouse #ChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth
