Africa is the last frontier for growth opportunities of significant size
Penda = Love
The recent coronavirus crises shone a searing spotlight on the critical importance of access to affordable, quality healthcare in Africa and globally.
Penda is a visionary chain of affordable medical centres in Nairobi, Kenya heeding this clarion call with a commitment to providing outpatient primary health care focussing on women and children, most of whom would otherwise not have access to reliable healthcare services at all.
Penda is a Swahili word which in English means Love, so in Penda we love our patients.

A clear focus on women in employment and leadership positions sees 70% of all penda’s employees presently being women and women holding 46% of all the management jobs and 40% of board seats.
Penda offers equal opportunity, if a man is able to get a certain promotion, a woman can also get the same promotion.’
