Our Initiatives
In partnership with Dr. Ken, a pediatrician in Kenya, KSRI is actively seeking children in need of scoliosis treatment in the Mombasa area. Spinal braces are custom-made in Kenya for every patient, ensuring personalized care and community engagement.
Our Mission
The Kenya Scoliosis Relief Initiative is a non-profit organization aimed at improving spine health and preventing the progression of scoliosis for children in Kenya. Through collaboration with pediatricians, our mission is to provide spinal braces for children diagnosed with scoliosis.
About Scoliosis
Scoliosis, characterized by a sideways curvature of the spine, typically manifests during childhood. As the curvature progresses, proper lung function may be interrupted due to reduced space in the chest. To mitigate progression of scoliosis as the child develops, a spinal brace may be recommended.
Our Partner
