About Ruai Cerebral Palsy

We are a passionate team of healthcare professionals, advocates, and families united by one mission — to empower every person living with CP in Kenya.

🎯

Our Mission

To provide comprehensive support, therapy, education, and advocacy for individuals living with cerebral palsy and their families across all 47 counties of Kenya — ensuring no one is left behind.

🔭

Our Vision

A Kenya where every person living with cerebral palsy has equal access to opportunities, services, and is fully included in society — living a life of dignity and purpose.

Our Story

From a Small Group to a National Organisation

Ruai Cerebral Palsy was founded in 2020 by a group of parents and therapists in Nairobi who recognised a critical gap in support services for children with cerebral palsy. What started as a weekly support group of 12 families has grown into a nationally recognised organisation serving over 1,200 individuals across all of Nairobi.
