Partners for Care brings hope to people living in slums and impoverished areas of the world through Christian medical and humanitarian relief and ministry to orphans due to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Beginning in Kenya, Partners for Care partners with local churches to provide healthcare and social workers who compassionately work to provide holistic solutions in the midst of very difficult circumstances.

Started by nurses who knew they could partner with key indigenous leaders and local churches to provide hope and wholeness, Partners for Care is addressing malaria, HIV/Aids, diseases from unclean water, malnutrition, and other preventable community health issues.

Along with a nurse sponsorship program, Partners for Care regularly sends short-term mission teams work alongside the Partners for Care staff team members.  To learn more, read below about Paul and Andrew.

Meet Paul
Paul is a registered Kenyan nurse and Partners for Care staff member. He works in the Kiambiu slum in Kenya - home to 225,000 people. Paul walks to work through the slum and from a closet-sized room each month he treats over 800 people, mostly children. He has a caseload of 42 people who live in mud houses in the slum who have HIV/AIDS. Many of them are bedridden. Paul makes home visits to give medical care to those who are most infected by this pandemic. For those dying from AIDS, he takes medications and food. He prays with them and for them. For many of them, time is short and Paul feels the urgency to share the gospel with them. When they need care beyond what Paul can provide they are carried to the public hospital with public transportation. Death comes routinely in the slum. When these patients die there are more orphans. Paul provides medicine, hope and compassionate care everyday - all for $400.00 a month.

Meet Andrew
A Partners for Care social worker in the Turkana region, Andrew serves amidst the difficult living conditions if the desert in a place that many call the ends of the earth. Most Turkana people live where there are no schools and no healthcare facilities. Andrew helps pastors in this area develop self-sustaining projects to provide food and other basic essentials so that people can feed their families and their villages thus breaking the cycle of poverty. From bee-keeping to irrigation, people are learning ways to support themselves and help their villages.
