Tenwek Inpatient Hospice Project
Within the country of Kenya, with a population of 50 million people, there are only a handful of inpatient hospice facilities which provide skilled care to dying patients and their overwhelmed families. Our research found that due to strong cultural influences, the terminally ill of Bomet County, where Tenwek Hospital is located, prefer to spend their final days in such a facility rather than at home, having their pain managed and their physical and spiritual needs met. This God-sized dream began with the purchase of land adjacent to Tenwek Hospital, on which we have plans to build a 30-bed unit to welcome and care for patients in their final days.
The estimate for this project is USD one million, and about 20% of this has been given. Donations of any amount will be helpful! You would be part of a Kenyan harambe where we all pull together to make things happen.
