It was established in 2004 and is under the leadership of St. Joseph Catholic Church Kahawa Sukari in the Archdiocese of Nairobi in a bid to help and answer to the need of the the community especially mothers and children, vulnerable groups in society and for people living with HIV.

Our key objectives are:

3. Answer to the needs of the community surrounding us by providing solutions to their needs.

SJHC strives to protect, nurture and enhance the value and sacredness of life. This is achieved through various Projects carried out in the organization, with keen attention to mother and child welfare. In 2020, St Joseph Health Centre launched a maternity to ensure mothers deliver safely. The program rolled out successfully and though hampered by lack of NHIF accreditation, it has so far impacted the lives of 185 mothers and children. Another key area the facility has focused on is PMTCT (prevention of mother to child transmission) for mothers living with HIV. We have been able to ensure that this is completely eliminated and no mother has transmitted HIV to their child in the last 5 years.

Going forward, we aim to continue serving Christ through serving people and especially to the needy people in the society and to provide the most affordable services to all people.
