Hope 4 Cancer Kids (HCK) was founded in 2008 by James Nyaga, the father of a child fighting cancer at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). As a result of his own experience as a parent, facing denial and shock at his child receiving a cancer diagnosis, he decided to approach the management of KNH to arrange a Family Fun Day. The objective was to provide families with some levity during a very serious time, and to allow children to forget, for one day, that they were fighting for their lives in an oftentimes very painful way.
HCK is currently registered as a Civil Society under the societies act of Kenya. Our National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) Support Program is our defining initiative. We raise funds to support children and adolescents from low-income backgrounds that are unable to access quality cancer treatment due to the prohibitive costs. HCK pays insurance cover through NHIF. This covers in-patient and out-patient hospital fees in public hospitals for the child and their family. We are also involved in Advocacy, psychosocial support, and awareness creation.
