Founder
Nyeri Hospice was founded by Mrs. Kathy Sembhi a palliative care specialist who had facilitated the hospice in their family business premises until it acquired permanent premises in year 2000 through the support of well-wishers and local community. She also donated her vehicle to do home visits (home based care).

It was the first rural Hospice which started on the 1st of October 1995 as a satellite branch of Nairobi Hospice to cater for patients with life limiting illness of Cancer. With the HIV/AIDS scourge and after it was declared a national disaster, we extended our care to HIV/AIDS patients. Today Nyeri hospice is an autonomous charitable organization in its operations.
