One-time donations are powerful, but monthly giving allows our programs to plan ahead with confidence. A steady stream of recurring gifts means we can commit to long-term treatment plans without funding gaps between campaigns.
Even a gift as small as KES 1,000 a month, multiplied across our donor community, adds up to life-changing, sustained care for children across all four of our programs, Cancer, Heart, Sickle Cell, and the Free Care Fund.
Knowing a set amount comes in every month lets us say yes to a family today instead of asking them to wait for the next fundraiser.

Why monthly giving matters
Predictable funding changes how our clinical and social work teams can plan. Instead of reacting to whatever comes in that month, they can commit to a child’s full treatment course from day one.
- Recurring gifts let us plan multi-month treatment courses with confidence.
- Smaller monthly amounts are often more sustainable for donors than large one-off gifts.
- Predictable income reduces the administrative cost of repeated fundraising appeals.
- Monthly donors can see the ongoing impact of their giving through regular updates.
If you’ve been considering a one-time gift, we’d encourage you to consider making it monthly instead, it costs less per month than you might think, and it means more to the families who depend on it.
