Home Based Care

Home Based Care skills open doors to meaningful work that directly improves the lives of vulnerable people in Kenyan communities. Whether in urban centres or rural areas, mastering these skills allows you to support clients with dignity and professionalism, making you a valuable asset in both formal healthcare settings and community initiatives.

• In Kenya’s public health sector, including county health departments and NGOs like AMREF or Kenya Red Cross, home-based care workers assess and support patients living with chronic illnesses such as HIV/AIDS, diabetes, and disabilities.
• The vibrant jua kali sector and community health volunteer programs often rely on skilled home-based care providers to extend healthcare services to underserved populations, especially in informal settlements.
• Working with organizations like Kenyatta National Hospital or private hospices, you can develop and implement care plans that improve patient outcomes and reduce hospital readmissions.
• Entrepreneurs can start small home-based care businesses offering personalized care services to elderly clients or persons with disabilities, tapping into a growing market as Kenya’s population ages.
• Mastery of these skills also positions you for roles in county social services and community health units, where you coordinate resources and family linkages to ensure holistic care.

By excelling in home-based care, you build a career that is not only financially rewarding but deeply impactful—helping you become a trusted caregiver and community leader, shaping healthier futures across Kenya.
