Our Impact Thus Far
TBKidsCentral works to make childhood tuberculosis care more compassionate, engaging, and supportive. Through our partnerships, volunteers, and community programs, we provide hygiene kits, education materials, and emotional support items to children receiving treatment. Our work spans both local and international communities, and we continue to expand our reach by collaborating with hospitals, schools, and youth leaders who share the same mission of improving the well-being of children affected by TB.
International Impact
Impact in India
Partnership with the National Institute of Tuberculosis (New Dehli, India)
We assembled 100 hygiene kits for children receiving tuberculosis care at the National Institute of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases in New Delhi. Each kit included soap, toothpaste, a toothbrush, an N95 mask, a reusable water bottle, a reusable plastic tiffin box, and a coloring book with pencils. Everything was packed in a durable reusable black tote bag to support both daily needs and emotional comfort during treatment.
Impact in Kenya
Partnership with House of Hope Child Support
Through our partnership with House of Hope Child Support and Dr. Brian McAbudoh, TBKidsCentral has supported tuberculosis education and outreach efforts in rural Kenya. We have funded travel to remote schools and covered the printing of educational TB awareness pamphlets, helping deliver critical health information and resources to over 1,500 children across rural schools in Kenya.
School Repairs
After piloting TBKidsCentral’s TB education pamphlets in rural Kenyan schools, TBKidsCentral and House of Hope Child Support identified one school in urgent need of repair. Together, we helped fund roof repairs, classroom repainting, and new flooring to create a safer, cleaner learning environment for 790 students and 15 teachers.
