Every year, thousands of vulnerable children across Kenya are given a second chance at life — because of donors like you. Gertrude’s Hospital Foundation exists to make sure no child is denied life-saving healthcare simply because their family cannot afford it.

Open-heart surgeries fully funded, giving critically ill children a second chance at life.
