Like every charitable organization, our success is heavily dependent on Friends of Hospice, who assist with the successful running of our programmes, services and events.

We have been fortunate to have the support of a wonderful community of Corporates and individuals who believe in our cause, and supports us in achieving our Mission by supporting our fundraising efforts, which are vital to the services we provide.

Nairobi Hospice volunteers play a vital role in patients’ care. They’re able to keep patients company when family and friends are not able to be there, help us with administrative work, and much more.

Patient Care Volunteers

Patient care volunteers spend their days with hospice patients. They may visit patient at home. They do not provide any medical or hands-on care, but spend time with the patient, talking with them and keeping them company. Volunteers would also sometimes play the patient’s favourite games with them, like cards or chess, talk with patients about current events if that’s something that the patient is interested in. This type of volunteering is perfect for compassionate, empathetic people who want to help patients. They could sometimes help in;
