IU-Kenya Children's Neurodevelopment Clinic

School of Medicine Department of Medicine

The obstacles for children with disabilities are many. In Kenya, the prevalence of childhood disability in children 3-21 years is 13 percent. Because of a lack of access to diagnosis and care, children with neurodevelopmental disorders can experience difficulties with language, speech, motor skills, behavior, memory, learning, or other neurological functions. Your gift to this fund can help a child with a neurodevelopmental disability get access to the care they need.

Additional Info

Gifts to this fund support expenses incurred by IU School of Medicine for the general support of the children's neurodevelopment clinic at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, Kenya. Among many vital needs, your gift could help build and sustain a new children’s neurological clinic in Eldoret—the Wezesha Watoto Children’s Neurodevelopment Clinic—built in partnership with the Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH) and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. Your gift could also support training for healthcare workers and the development of innovative programs to serve the needs of children with disabilities and their families.

Thank you for changing a child's life with your generous gift.

Your giving matters

I see a future where we are able to improve the potential of children with both mental and neurological disabilities. I see a future where this program may be able to increase the number of children with disabilities who improve their potential to play, develop, learn and participate in the general growth of this country.
