    To empower underserved communities by promoting equitable access to healthcare, education, and social development opportunities.

    About Us

    Cheherma Foundation (legally registered as Cheherma Wellness and Knowledge) is a community organization dedicated to improving health and education outcomes in underserved communities, especially urban areas with limited resources.

    We believe that wellness and knowledge are the foundations of lasting change. Our mission is to empower individuals and families by promoting equitable access to healthcare, education, and social development opportunities — with a special focus on the urban slums of Nairobi, particularly Kibera, one of Africa’s largest informal settlements.

    Through our medical and dental outreach programs, we connect passionate volunteer professionals and students from around the world with local healthcare initiatives. Together, we deliver free community clinics, school health programs, and public health education, making a tangible difference in daily lives.

    Our approach goes beyond treatment — we invest in prevention, awareness, and capacity building, helping communities take charge of their own wellbeing. Each project is guided by our core values:

    • 💛 Compassion: We lead with empathy and respect for every individual we serve.
    • 🤝 Accountability: We act transparently and responsibly with every resource entrusted to us.
    • 🌱 Community Empowerment: We believe sustainable change starts from within.
    • ⚖️ Equity & Inclusion: We ensure everyone, regardless of background, has access to care and opportunity.
    • 🕊️ Integrity: We uphold the highest standards of ethics and professionalism.

    Our vision is simple yet powerful:

    A healthy, educated, and empowered society where everyone has the tools to thrive and lead change.

    Join us in creating impact where it matters most — in the heart of Nairobi’s underserved communities — through health, learning, and humanity in action.
