OVI Children’s Hospital

OVI Children’s Hospital A charity-based hospital for orphaned, abandoned, and at-risk children.📍Migori, Kenya 🇰🇪

From our base in Kenya, we pioneer a new way of treating and caring for vulnerable children that we plan to introduce across Africa and Asia. Unlike orphanages that can cause the separation they seek to solve, we help loving families stay together.

- Treatment

We give free, life-saving treatment to children who need it, now. Through our medical camps and rescue services, we travel to remote regions and provide urgent medication and ongoing care plans. Where patients are in need of hospital treatment, we transport them to our locally staffed facilities. We also provide outpatient hospital services to children who walk in or are referred to us for evaluation and care. We fight for every child as though they are our own, no matter what their condition or life expectancy.

- Complete care

Our transformative hospital stays combine critical healthcare with holistic services that go way beyond physical health. Counselling, education, and play empower patients and support them to health and happiness.

- Keeping families together

By understanding why abandonment happens, we can intervene when support is most needed and help loving families stay together. We offer bereaved fathers stability and support, so they don’t give up their children in despair. And we provide temporary care for the children of child brides, orphaned girls, and other vulnerable mothers who want their children but can’t provide for them yet. Our goal is to prevent children from being separated from their relatives and orphaned forever.

To some, it might just look like a sack of new toys. But to our little ones, it’s comfort, something safe to hold, and the quiet joy of seeing something that’s theirs right there on the hospital bed. A reminder that the little things mean everything. And that there is no better painkiller than love.

Our founder’s daughter Lily is one of the few people on the planet who can say she grew up in hospital. From the time she was two years old, OVI was Lily’s home. Her journey was not as a patient, but as the most pure and loving friend to every sick and vulnerable child who came through our doors.

Like many of our patients, Lily tragically lost her mother at one month old. From her earliest years she’s always remained passionate about being a safe place for little ones who have no one else to hold them. 

Now, Lily is 10 years old and her greatest passion and joy continues to be our children. She sings to them, holds them, and tells them stories. Being a light for hurting children fills her heart in a way that nothing else can. Lily’s heart is the purest expression of what we do. She is love in its truest form.

Our little ones gathered around the shape-sorting toys today by helping each other, communicating, and enjoying every moment of the challenge. We love it when they’re deep in discovery with those serious faces 😍

We love showing you little parts of our patient’s world. These videos are taken throughout the day by our beloved caregivers and medical staff. We love how much they love our little ones and sharing their everyday growth and healing.

Our little girls spent their playtime building and decorating their dollhouse together! You can actually see that they are planning and communicating to get this done. Their imagination, friendship, and joy of working side by side is what we want for them here at OVI. 🫶

Full bellies and happy hearts. 💕

Our little ones were all relieved today as they enjoyed a warm, delicious meal. Moments like these are about more than food because they’re about nourishment, care, and the comfort of knowing you’re safe as well. 🫶

Today, Maxwell stood tall and we couldn’t be prouder! 🙌

After weeks of dedicated physiotherapy, he can now stand on his own. His strength, his spirit, and the care he’s received have all brought him to this moment, his new reality.

We celebrate every step forward here at OVI, and this one is all Maxwell’s. 💪

Group physiotherapy today brought out the big exercise balls! Our little ones gently moved, stretched, and supported one another with each motion helping build strength, confidence, and connection. 💖

Junior and Prince had one goal today: figure out this toy.

Their puzzled expressions while trying to make sense of it all is amazing to watch! At OVI, learning comes wrapped in curiosity and teamwork. They also look adorable solving it together 😍
