Who we are

Hope 4 Cancer Kids

Hope for Cancer Kids Kenya (HCK) is a registered Kenyan non-profit founded in 2008 to remove the barriers that keep children from completing cancer treatment. What began as one family’s fight has become a national lifeline supporting hundreds of children and caregivers through medical access, transport, accommodation, nutrition, psychosocial care, and advocacy.

What we do

Our 5 Pillars of Impact

At Hope for Cancer Kids, we understand that a child's battle with cancer is fought on multiple fronts. Medicine alone is not enough. It requires a holistic army of support to overcome the financial, logistical, and emotional barriers that stand in the way of survival. Our strategic, five-pillar approach is designed to do just that, surround each child and their family with comprehensive care, from diagnosis to recovery and beyond.

Access to Treatment & Care

Ensuring all children have access to essential medical treatments and supportive care for battling cancer.

Childhood Cancer Awareness

Raising awareness about childhood cancer to foster understanding, early diagnosis and community support.

Research

Supporting research initiatives aimed at discovering new treatments and improving outcomes for children with cancer.

Capacity Building

Enhancing the skills and resources of caregivers & members of our team to improve treatment and care for young patients.

Advocacy

Championing the needs and rights of children with cancer through strong advocacy efforts in policy and community .

How We Help

Health Insurance Support Program

Many families can’t afford chemotherapy, surgery, or scans. We cover health insurance costs so children get the care they deserve

Transport & Accommodation Program

Families travel over 400 km for treatment, often abandoning care due to costs. We provide transport, housing, and meals so they can focus on healing

Psychosocial Support (Art 4 Life Program)

Cancer is traumaticβ€”but art heals. Through painting, music, and play, we help children express their emotions and find joy even in pain

  • β€œWe want our children to be children.” β€” @kanyiohawa πŸ’›

Thank you, @davidmuriithi, for the visit and your support.πŸŽ—οΈ

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. πŸ’›

Cure for every child. Care for every family.

  • 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. πŸ’›

  • 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.

  • Supporting a child through cancer often means supporting them through more than one moment. Treatment, transport, medical tests and other essential needs can continue throughout their journey.

A monthly gift creates a steady source of support that helps us be there when children and families need it most.

From KES 100 a month, you can be part of that support. Whether it’s KES 100, KES 500, KES 1,000 or whatever you can comfortably give, every contribution adds up.

Small, regular gifts. Steady support. More hope. πŸ’›
