Kenya

TEARS Kenya Chapter will be establishing a Center for Child Loss to served bereaved families in Nairobi, Kenya. There are no services for families in Kenya for support after the loss of a child, especially in poor communities. Many parents are devastated and suffer additional hardship and loss of employment after child loss. 

Complicated grief is very common because of lack of intentional support immediately after a loss. Our programs will try to help narrow this gap and offer ongoing emotional support. 

Please consider supporting our work in Kenya to bring healing to these families.

Programs: Check Facebook Event Page for additional details on events listed

Currently support is being offered virtually. Contact Joyce for more information. phone +254 710 729 757 / Whatsapp +254 723 661 937 / [email protected]
