Recovery takes a community.

HOPE-CBO works in Nyandiwa, Oyugis, to make rehabilitation support more accessible for stroke survivors and their families. Our current service has two volunteer physiotherapy workers and organized sessions on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Our current space is a family-owned house of about 28 m². It supports around 20 stroke survivors, but leaves little room for more clients or equipment. Finding a larger rented space is our immediate priority.
