Mrs. Roseline Nyakeriga started Zikar Child Fund after experiencing the desperate challenge of raising funds for her own son's life-saving heart treatment in 2014.
"When my son was diagnosed with a severe heart condition, I raised Ksh 4.7M through community well-wishers to save his life. Having walked in those shoes, I dedicated my life to saving 50+ more children in our community."
Today, under her leadership, Zikar Child Fund provides medical care, wheelchairs, special school fees, and daily survival support to vulnerable children with disabilities in Kisii County.
Watch Mrs. Roseline Nyakeriga share her personal journey of raising Ksh 4.7M to save her son's life and founding Zikar Child Fund to support 50+ children with severe illness and disability today.
