Cervical cancer is curable. Yet thousands of Kenyan women die of it every year.

Not because treatment doesn’t exist — but because no mechanism exists to fund their access to it.

The fatal gap is not the absence of care — it is the absence of a funding bridge between diagnosis and treatment.
  • 💸
    Treatment costs KES 50,000–200,000 — beyond reach for most low-income families
  • 🏥
    Government SHA financing is slow, partial, and under-resourced for cancer patients
  • 📊
    No transparent, rapid-disbursement individual patient funding mechanism exists in Kenya
  • ⏱️
    Women who receive diagnoses abandon treatment and die while trying to raise funds privately

Four steps from identification to treatment.

A clinically verified, blockchain-transparent model that routes funds directly to hospitals — with zero fraud risk.

1

Identify

Trained community health workers identify symptomatic, unscreened women across Nairobi and Central Kenya through active community outreach.

2

Verify

Dr. Nancy Muhia or a partner clinician confirms diagnosis, staging, and estimated treatment cost. Only verified cases receive funding.

3

Fund

Verified patient profiles are published on HopeChain. Donors worldwide give via Bitcoin, M-Pesa, card, or bank transfer — directly to named patients.

4

Disburse

Funds go directly to the treating hospital — never to the patient. Every payment is recorded on-chain and publicly verifiable within 48 hours.

100% on-chain transparency

Every disbursement HopeChain Care makes is recorded on a public blockchain ledger — timestamped, immutable, and permanently verifiable by any donor, partner, or auditor. We are not asking you to trust us. We are giving you the tools to verify us.

Real women. Verified cases. Direct impact.

Each patient has been clinically verified by our medical team through documentation review and a physical visit. Your donation funds their specific treatment only.

Community health workers deployed across Nairobi & Central Kenya
16
Patients identified, verified, and funded in the first cohort
3
Hospital partnerships established (Karatina + 2 Nairobi facilities)

2
Scale to 50+ patients — Year 1Expand CHW network to 15 workers, 5 hospital partnerships, and active donor base with proven conversion model.
3
HopeChain Clinic launch — Year 2Open low-cost cervical cancer screening clinics across Kenya. Fee-paying patients cross-subsidise free care for those who cannot pay — progressively reducing grant dependency.
