About us

Our journey started back in 2008, when Maureen Miruka’s (the Founder of JMHSK) son, Joseph – or Jose, as he was fondly known – died of hemophilia complications in April 2007. She gathered her strength and founded JMHSK the following year, embarking on a journey to highlight the plight of people living with bleeding disorders, with the objective of:

• Encouraging and assisting individuals with hemophilia to obtain proper treatment and medical care.
• Aiding in the education of persons with congenital clotting disorders, their families, and the general public on the problems of hemophilia.
• Procuring supplies of whole blood, blood products, or other therapeutic materials that assist in the clotting of blood.
• Supporting the establishment and development of facilities for the adequate treatment of all aspects of hemophilia.
• Raising money to support individuals living with blood clotting disorders to access technical and financial support through sponsorship, scholarships, and micro-enterprise grants.
• Encouraging and promoting research in hemophilia.

JMHSK is led by a volunteer Board of Management and managed by a small group of professional staff. Our operations are based at our offices at Repen Complex, Block C, 1st Floor Room 108, Katani Road/Mombasa Road Junction, Nairobi, and our approach is caregiver and patient-led. We distribute factor for home infusion.
