Learn More About Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a brain condition that causes recurring seizures. It’s common, treatable, and nothing to be ashamed of, but many people still don’t understand it. We’re here to change that by sharing accurate information, busting myths, and providing support to those affected.

The Reality
Why your support mattersStigma is a barrier
Epilepsy in Kenya is misunderstood, often linked to witchcraft, causing people to avoid seeking the help they need
Care is scarce
Many people with epilepsy in Kenya lack access to proper medical care and support.There are only ~25 neurologists nationwide, most in cities, leading to thousands without access
