FHA Kenya
We are pleased to announce the establishment of Future Health Africa Kenya (company limited by guarantee). FHA and FHA Kenya share one mission, one vision and one team.
The Kenyan arm strengthens our commitment to local health systems and supports direct local partnerships, funding access and sustainable projects. It brings our UK–Kenya health partnerships closer to communities, strengthening bonds and impact.
New Partnerships
We are pleased to announce a new partnership with Kisii County has been formed to create a regional training Hub for GRASPIT in the Southwest of Kenya.
We are developing a new partnership with Nakuru County Government and Nakuru County Referral and Teaching Hospital, creating opportunities for future clinical projects, training and knowledge exchange.
Forthcoming Events
Trauma Team
The Trauma Team is planning an orthopaedic project at Nakuru County Referral and Teaching Hospital in January 2027 which we hope will mark the start of a rewarding partnership.
Please help us treat patients with curable disabilities while sharing knowledge and skills with our Kenyan colleagues. Your donation will fund orthopaedic implants and instruments to treat patients who cannot afford care.
SAFARI STUDY
FHA is launching the SAFARI (Survey of Anaesthesia Facilities and African Regional Infrastructure) Study: Evaluating Regional Anaesthesia Capacity, Training and Equipment Needs Across Africa. This is a collaborative project between FHA, The Department of Anaesthesia, Faculty of Health Sciences, The Aga Khan University (Nairobi), and the African Society of Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Therapy (AFSRA).
The survey will be launched at the AFSRA Annual Congress on 13 November 2026, where FHA Anaesthetic Faculty are also presenting a Quality Improvement Project Abstract.

- Sharing skills, transforming lives -
Future Health Africa is a UK-based charity which strives for sustainable improvement in the health and wellbeing of people in low-middle-income countries (LMICs).
Through sharing skills, we hope to transform lives, relieve suffering and reduce poverty.
Wherever we work, we collaborate with local communities, governments and other groups.
Our teams are made up of UK volunteers who all work, or have worked, in the National Health Service (NHS) and their Kenyan counterparts. All share a personal commitment to reduce inequalities in health and well-being by contributing to the internationally agreed Sustainable Development Goals and in particular goals 1,3,4,5,10 & 17.
Our Projects:
Trauma Team
The Trauma Team tackles disability and poverty, caused by injuries, through surgical projects which offer patients diagnosis, surgery and rehabilitation. Team members train local staff through side-by-side working.
GRASPIT
GRASPIT teaches healthcare staff how to recognise and deal with acutely ill or deteriorating ‘sick patients’ to prevent avoidable death and disability. It trains local staff to continue to train others. It is now entirely Kenyan delivered with support from the UK lead.
Quality Improvement
& Leadership
The q4a (Quality for All) faculty delivers the SPRINGBOARD programme, teaching the ‘Science of Improvement & the Art of Leadership’, empowering frontline healthcare staff to improve their ‘sick systems’ and deliver safer and better quality care.
Bursaries
When our charity resources allow, we support courses, professional development, conference and study visits, exchange programmes and medical training for LMIC individuals.
Community & Primary Care

The Community & Primary Care Development team provide technical assistance to NGOs and Ministries of Health to improve health outcomes through the provision of primary healthcare in remote areas in several regions of Kenya.

Ayub’s story
Ayub is a retired gentleman and a year before we met him he had an operation to fix a broken right knee cap.
The knee did not recover well and unfortunately became very stiff. It was stuck in an almost completely straight position. For him this made it impossible to kneel to pray, use public transport easily or climb hills or stairs without extreme difficulty.
We were able to operate and remove the scar tissue from the knee. Following the operation, there was good movement in the knee and a few days later Ayub was able to start using his knee for normal everyday activities.
