Hear Kenya!
A collaborative effort to expand access to hearing healthcare for children and families across Kenya.
We are honored to partner with global and local leaders—including Project CURE, Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy, and MED-EL Hearing Healthcare Alliance—to support Kenya’s growing network of ENT surgeons, audiologists, and speech-language professionals.
What began in Nakuru County has grown into a multi-faceted initiative focused on transforming hearing healthcare systems and outcomes across Kenya.
Our Impact
- 16 children received cochlear implants
- 2 Listen to Me!® Kenya conferences (Fall 2024, January 2026)
- 11 professionals trained through a listening and spoken language mentorship program combining virtual coursework, collaboration, and hands-on training
Building Infrastructure
We have funded and shipped 3 containers of medical equipment through Project CURE (in partnership with Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy) and are currently raising funds to ship 12 more.
These shipments support:
- Audiology and diagnostic testing
- Cochlear implant surgical capacity in Nakuru
- Expanded hearing healthcare services in Nairobi and Nakuru
Teletherapy Innovation
The Hear Kenya Teletherapy Program provides weekly listening and spoken language therapy for families, delivered by Kenyan professionals with ongoing mentorship from U.S.-based experts—building local capacity while ensuring consistent, high-quality care.
What’s Next
We are preparing to launch a newborn hearing screening program in Nairobi and Nakuru by:
- Providing screening equipment
- Training nurses
- Developing a tracking system to ensure follow-up care
This work is being developed in partnership with local hospitals and government to ensure long-term sustainability and scale.
