Delivering Access

In response to the community’s desperate need for professional healthcare access, we responded by spearheading the effort to build a Maternal-Child health Center for the community of Dandora, Kenya. We sought out and connected resources with need and ultimately delivered a top-rated Hospital serving the entire population of Dandora and beyond.
“When I first visited Holy Cross Dandora Parish in 2011 I was perplexed by the juxtaposition of the poverty in this neighborhood against the hospitality and gratitude expressed by its Parishioners.”
- Jill Tabit, Co Founder of New DAWN Africa

Dandora is an urban slum in East Africa.

Prior to Brother Andre Hospital, healthcare options were grim.
