PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in sub-Saharan Africa with increasing incidence. In Kenya, it is a neglected condition with a paucity of evidence despite its need for urgent care and hefty economic burden. After a stroke, patients are faced with many hurdles e.g. delayed transportation due to lack of emergency response systems, ill-equipped hospitals and lack of stroke specialists Our vision is a Kenya where stroke is prevented, survivors are empowered, and the impact of stroke is minimized through education and advocacy. We aim to be the leading organization in stroke awareness and support in Kenya. Our Mission is to be committed to reducing the impact of stroke on the Kenyan community through prevention, education, and support for stroke survivors and their families
Project Objectives
- Provide intensive, individualized rehabilitation and rebuild the person’s quality of life
- Provide extensive training and education for the person, their family and the community
