Tiba partners with local Kenyan organizations to improve access to health, education & women's empowerment. Tiba champions Matibabu's Boda Girls program.

We partner with local Kenyan health care organizations and provide funding, medical volunteers, and strategic guidance. Boda Girls trains women as motorcycle taxi drivers in rural areas to drive community health, education, and financial empowerment for women. Together, we are empowering and saving lives, and transforming the health care landscape for thousands of locals in rural Kenya.

A stronger health system doesn’t happen overnight.

It’s built over time: a nurse getting the training she needs, a hospital having the right equipment, a woman being able to reach care, and a patient getting the treatment she came for.

That’s the work we support in rural Kenya. Not one big solution, but many pieces coming together to make healthcare stronger for the communities we serve.

Congratulations to Tiba’s board member, Paul Oseso, on summiting Mt Kilimanjaro! Paul’s determination and collaboration with fellow hikers to reach new heights exemplifies his goals for working with Tiba to improve the health of the people in his Kenyan homeland. Tiba appreciates Paul’s longterm leadership and support for Matibabu Hospital. Congratulations Paul - on all that you do!!

When someone goes to a hospital, they’re putting their trust in the people caring for them. That trust matters. At Matibabu, building a stronger hospital means investing in the people, training, equipment, and systems that help patients receive safe, quality care, whether they’re coming in for a routine visit, an emergency, or surgery. On World Patient Safety Day, we’re thinking about what it takes to make that trust well placed.

Too many women face cancer without knowing it’s there.

September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month, a reminder of why access to screening and early diagnosis matters, especially for women living far from major health facilities.

In rural Kenya, Tiba is working with Africa Cancer Foundation to bring cervical cancer screening and other cancer services closer to the women who need them.

Because finding cancer early can change everything.

In just over two years, the FIGS Operating Theatre at Matibabu Foundation Hospital has performed 1,920 surgeries.

Since opening in January 2024, the operating theatre has made it possible for thousands of patients to receive surgical care closer to home, reducing the need to travel long distances for treatment.

This milestone is a testament to the incredible work of Matibabu's surgical team and the generosity of the donors and partners who helped make the theatre possible.

Thank you for being part of this journey and helping bring quality surgical care to more people in western Kenya. 💚

Last month marked an exciting milestone in the fight against cancer in Kenya as the Africa Cancer Foundation (ACF) Mobile Clinic officially launched in partnership with Tiba Foundation and local healthcare partners.

This mobile screening unit is bringing life-saving cancer screening services directly to underserved communities, helping remove barriers to early detection by meeting people where they are. Through this partnership, more women and families will have access to cervical and breast cancer screenings without the burden of traveling long distances.

At Tiba Foundation, we believe that where you live should never determine your access to healthcare. We're honored to support this initiative alongside our partners as we work toward a future where early detection and timely care are within reach for everyone.

🎉 Happy Birthday to founding board member, Dr. Ram Ramachandra!

For years, Dr. Ram has traveled to Kenya every year, bringing not only his surgical expertise, but also his deep care for the people and communities we serve. As the leader of Tiba’s surgery program, he was instrumental in the construction of Matibabu's new operating theatre and performed the very first surgery there in 2024.

Dr. Ram is a gifted surgeon, compassionate leader, and truly kind person whose commitment to Tiba and the people of Kenya has made an extraordinary impact. We are so grateful for all he continues to give.

Please join us in wishing Dr. Ram a very happy birthday! 🎂🎉

At the Mary Ann van Dam School of Nursing, we often return to a simple truth: when you invest in a nurse, you are investing in thousands of lives.

It is estimated that a Kenyan nurse will care for over 100,000 patients over the course of their career. That means every investment in nursing education has a multiplying effect across entire communities - families, villages, and health systems.
