About Us

Who We Are

St Aoko Medical Centre is a next-generation community hospital established to transform healthcare access in Western Kenya. 

We are the medical arm of Hawi Global Foundation (HGF), a non-profit organization that has served thousands of vulnerable families through free medical camps, surgical interventions, maternal health outreach, and health system strengthening. 

St Aoko Medical Centre exists to turn that decade of outreach into a permanent, stable, and scalable health system. 

Our Values

Compassion: Every life has equal worth. 

Equity: No one should be denied care because of money. 

Integrity: We operate with transparency and accountability. 

Innovation: We pioneer systems that solve real problems. 

Community: Healthcare must belong to the people it serves. 

Impact: We measure success in healthier families and empowered communities. 

Our Story

On January 1st, 2018, our founder’s mother, Elizabeth Aoko, was denied admission to an ICU because the family could not raise KES 100,000 on the spot

She died hours later—without ever receiving the critical care she needed. 

If a dedicated medical family could lose a loved one due to financial barriers, what hope does the average vulnerable household have? 

This tragedy transformed our work from compassion to a lifelong vow

Never again should a family choose between life and money. 

St Aoko Medical Centre was created in her honor—to ensure no patient is turned away, ever again.
