Introduction

Disability in Kenya is presented in many forms of special needs most of which start during the childhood stage; Physical disabilities e.g. visual and hearing impairment, multiple difficulties both Orthopaedic and Neurological, children with specific learning difficulties, emotional and behavioral problems etc.

HCF therefore exists to respond to the needs of the disabled who have been rejected by their families or are being mistreated, or are in need of any specialized attention. This covers all areas of life i.e. spirit, soul and body.

Mrs. Elisabeth Resner (HCF founder) got the burden for the needy many years ago but held back till 1997. Due to the size of the vision, she had to share it with others. Some one put it like this, “if you can fulfill your vision alone, then it must be very small.” It was not so with this vision thus many people had to be involved.
