Working to improve autism support in Kenya

Imagine being an autistic child in Kenya, where there’s no support, few resources, and families left to face immense challenges alone. This is the harsh reality for many children in the Mount Kenya region, where a lack of diagnosis and therapy options makes each day an uphill struggle.

But there is hope: the Kutus Autism Centre. Created by the partnership of Throw A Starfish in the UK and the Health Charge Medical Centre in Kenya, this center will be a game-changer. It's the first initiative of its kind in the region, bringing essential services closer to home for the families who need them most.

The Kutus Autism Centre will provide therapies, training for caregivers, and—soon—diagnostic tools that will help families better understand and support their children. With affordable, accessible services, this center will empower autistic children to thrive and equip their families with life-changing support.

But we can’t do this alone. We need your help to bring this vision to life. Every donation, large or small, will help us open the doors to a brighter future for autistic children in Kenya. Please give whatever you can—every bit counts.

Thank you for your generosity and compassion. Together, we can build a better future for these children and their families.
