Strategic Partners
The institutions that walk with Tenwek Hospital and its School of Chaplaincy.
“They say that a good friend knows all your best stories, but a best friend has lived them with you.”
We are thankful for strategic partners who have walked with Tenwek in its quest to provide quality yet affordable healthcare, and to train those who serve.
