About Badicare Foundation
A development-focused, non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening health systems, improving access to quality care, and accelerating economic transformation through sustainable development initiatives across Africa.
Who We Are
Across Kenya and Africa today, families are carrying pressures that rarely make headlines—illness, caregiving burdens, food insecurity, early motherhood, climate shocks, and a widening gap between opportunity and reality.
Badicare Foundation exists to restore stability and dignity—through evidence-based, multi-sector solutions that strengthen families and unlock human potential. We work where vulnerability and opportunity intersect—combining public health, social protection, youth empowerment, women's dignity, climate resilience, and livelihoods development into practical programs that communities and governments can scale.
"When a family is protected, a young person can thrive. When youth thrive, communities prosper. When communities prosper, nations become stable."
