Dignity, comfort and companionship for our elders
A community-based organisation in Kabuku, Limuru, caring for senior citizens over 80 through fellowship, food support and health care. Every month, with families, volunteers and local leaders.
The elderly are the pillars of our community
The Waithaka Foundation is a non-profit Community Based Organization started in 2022 by the late Waithaka's family to give back to Kabuku and Limuru. We restore hope, comfort and dignity to senior citizens facing isolation, poverty and poor health.
Every elderly person deserves safety, comfort, love and peace in their sunset years.
Three programmes. One monthly promise.
Every month we bring our elders together, feed them, check on their health and remind them they are loved.
Companionship & emotional support
Monthly fellowship meetings for conversation, listening and support that ease loneliness, depression and isolation.
Food & essential supplies
Food stuff and essential home supplies handed to every member at each monthly gathering.
Health & wellness
Health check-ups, referrals to health facilities and follow-up for elders living with chronic illness.

Details & how to joinSave the dateChristmas Fellowship with Our Elders
Our end-of-year gathering: fellowship, a festive meal, health checks and Christmas hampers for every member.
Details & how to joinHelp us build the Waithaka Foundation Complex
Today we hire halls and open fields for every gathering. Many elders who would like to join cannot make it because of transport challenges. A permanent home, the Waithaka Foundation Complex, will let us reach far more senior citizens. The first step is buying a piece of land, and we are raising funds for it now.
