The Impact of Medical Assistance

An important mission of the Silas Christian Foundation is medical assistance. In the slums of Silas, Munyaka, and Langas, people often cannot afford medical treatment. Through Lahash donors, many urgent needs have been met.

For example, Mama Ouma is the grandmother of an orphan named Victor. She has struggled with HIV and TB. Mama Ouma recently suffered from painful skin lesions, and through Lahash was able to get treatment. Please see the before (left) and after (right) pictures below.


Many other children and adults have been blessed by the caring actions of Nick Kemboi and the Silas Christian Foundation partnering with Lahash donors. These include young Lucy Muchoki (catheter, leg braces, skin graft, wheelchair), Jennifer Cheserek (anti-convulsants), Jane Kenduiywa (diabetes), and many more.

In Kenya, $60 is often the cost of going to the doctor and getting a prescription.

It is also a month's salary, and most poor families cannot cope with these kinds of expenses when they barely have enough to live on in the first place.

For the more fortunate among us, it is sometimes difficult to appreciate how a relatively small amount like $30 or $60 can go so far to alleviate human suffering, but in Kenya it can make all the difference in the world.
