🌟 Great News for Children with Blood Disorders in Kenya! 🌟

Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital has launched the region’s first paediatric bone marrow transplant centre — a major step forward for children with conditions such as sickle cell anaemia, leukaemia, and other immune or blood disorders.

This means families will no longer have to travel abroad for bone marrow transplants, as both autologous (using the patient’s own cells) and allogeneic (using donor cells) transplants will now be available locally. 💪🏽

👏🏽 A huge milestone for Kenya and the region — improving access, reducing costs, and giving more children a fighting chance at recovery.

🌍 Community Outreach – Boys Rehabilitation Centre.

On Thursday, 9th October 2025, we joined hands with our Community Church Health Committee for a special outreach at the Boys Rehabilitation Centre.

The day’s theme focused on prevention of alcoholism and other addictions, guided by faith, compassion, and shared responsibility.

The highlight of the session was a powerful talk by Mr. Denis Gitonga, a reformed former addict who shared his inspiring journey of recovery, discipline, and transformation. His testimony offered the boys real-life hope that change is possible with commitment and faith.

The team also discussed the causes, effects, and management of addiction, emphasizing on the importance of making positive life choices, seeking help, and staying connected to God’s guidance.

Through prayers, teachings, and fellowship, the boys were reminded that they are loved, valued, and capable of building bright, addiction-free futures.

This outreach reflected on our Organization’s mission of promoting holistic growth and wellbeing, showing that healing involves body, mind, and spirit. It also demonstrated how community partnerships can transform lives through service, love, and faith. 🌿

🧠 Preventing Alcoholism & Addiction Among Our Children

Addiction doesn’t start suddenly — it often begins with curiosity, stress, or lack of guidance.
As parents and caregivers, we can protect our children by:
🌱 Talking openly about the dangers of alcohol and drugs.
💬 Listening to their struggles, especially those living with health or endocrine conditions.
🤝 Encouraging healthy habits, friendships, and self-confidence.
❤️ Reminding them they are more than their condition — they are capable, loved, and have a bright future.

Together, let’s raise a generation that chooses health, hope, and purpose over addiction. 🌟
