Purpose

More than 10,000 babies are born in Kenya with a congenital heart defect each year. However, at this time, there is no dedicated congenital heart program in all of Africa. Lacking the access to modern medical care,many of these children die needlessly in their early childhood years.

Since 1992, THAP has sponsored 120 children to undergo heart surgery many from the poorest areas surrounding Nairobi, Kenya - to undergo successful heart surgery in Kenya, India, Italy and the United States.

THAP also assists the children by providing pre & postop diagonisis,medicine ,providing accomodation and transport for the children who travel to Nairobi from remote areas for medical treatment e.t.c

History

Peter Mbogo Kamau, following the death of his close family member from rheumatic heart disease, founded THAP in Kenya in 1992. He turned his grief to action, devoting himself full-time to helping the thousands of patients who suffer from heart defects and disease.THAP was established to assist children from struggling backgrounds ,whose parents/guardian are unable to raise necessary funds for their ailing children to access medical treatment.

THAP was officialy registered in 1996 as non governmental organization in Kenya under section 10 of the Non - Governmental Organization Co-ordination act and in 2002 as a tax exempt 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States.
