On June 17, our community said good-bye to a dear friend, Betty Teka. Her faith and courage to speak openly about her HIV status empowered thousands to go for testing and to live in freedom.

meaning Refuge in Swahili was officially opened on May 6th. The  hospice is  a 26 bed, inpatient facility that houses adults and children living with terminal illness.

On March 4th, this little girl arrived to Kimbilio Hospice. 8 years old and weighing a mere 13 pounds. Special feedings, medical treatment and constant care were implemented; and by God’s grace, she has come back to life.

In 2004, a man named Kibet was lying under the shade of a tree. He was young and dying of AIDS.

When Catherine stumbled into Kimbilio Hospice, she was in excruciating pain. She explained that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer several years prior but had never had access to treatment or pain control of any kind.
