The Kenya Partners Story
|
When Kenya Partners founder, Diane Hamrick, and two friends from High Point, NC, went on an exploratory mission trip to Kenya in 2006 for their local church, their first stop was Nakuru. They were deeply moved by the suffering they saw there, caused by the lack of adequate and affordable medical care.
As they left Kenya, they committed to raising funds to build a small clinic. They returned the following year with a team of medical professionals and volunteers to help develop the services available at the clinic.
Diane and her fellow-travelers also realized that an opportunity for education was the only way out of poverty for the orphans and vulnerable children they saw everywhere. Kenya Partners also started working on building a school for grades K-12 and two preschools.

Today, that little clinic (although still small by American standards!) has accredited hospital status and offers 24/7 healthcare, a new maternity wing, and a broad range of proactive medical services.
Squatters Hill Preschool is located next to a slum by the same name. Mercy Kids Preschool is located in a rural area near the clinic. There is also a small preschool in a temporary building on the grounds of the Betty Roberts Education Center
