Our story

Founded in 2021 by Kenyan medical professionals, SSAID addresses healthcare inequities in marginalized communities through surgical care, maternal and child health initiatives, mental health management, disability inclusion programs and training healthcare workers. Our surgical services include cleft and fistula repairs, pediatric and adult eye procedures, and ENT interventions, with over 350 cleft repairs completed to date. Maternal and child health efforts focus on prenatal care, malnutrition prevention, and obstetric fistula repair.

Helping others truly makes the world a happier place.
