Our Mission
We support affected individuals and their families through access to healthcare, assistive devices, education, social support and targeted emergency relief. Working closely with local partner organisations, we create the conditions for improved health, independence and meaningful participation in society.
Our Vision
Our vision is a society in which people with physical, intellectual or psychosocial disabilities, as well as people living with serious illnesses and their families, can participate equally and independently in society and live a life of dignity.
Meaning of
"Bawa Ndege"
The name "Bawa" means "wings" in Swahili, the official language of Kenya.
And "Ndege" means "bird" in Swahili.
Through our work, we hope that people with disabilities will experience how God cares for them, protects them, and gives them new strength to "fly," symbolizing independence, autonomy and newfound freedom.
