About Rafiki Relief
A youth-led movement bringing health, hope, and opportunity to underserved communities across Africa.
Our Story
Rafiki Relief began as an Eagle Scout project with a simple but powerful vision: to address medical negligence in schools and ensure every child has access to basic healthcare.
What started as a local initiative in Texas quickly grew into a cross-continental movement, connecting passionate youth leaders in the United States with communities in Kenya.
Our founder's personal connection to Kenya and witnessing the healthcare disparities firsthand inspired the creation of Rafiki Relief—"Rafiki" meaning "friend" in Swahili.
Our Mission
To address medical negligence in schools through comprehensive aid distribution and health awareness programs, ensuring every child has access to basic medical care and knowledge.
Our Vision
A world where every child, regardless of their circumstances, deserves access to basic medical care, health education, and the opportunity to thrive.
