About
LIVING ROOM MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL OPERATES IN WESTERN KENYA, PROVIDING COMMUNITY HEALTH MINISTRIES AND SCREENINGS. THE ORGANIZATION WORKS WITH PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM HIV/AIDS AND OTHER LIFE THREATENING DISEASES AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO WORKS WITH AT RISK CHILDREN AND MALNOURISHED INFANTS. FUNDS PROVIDED BY LIVING ROOM MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL WERE USED TO BUILD KIMBILIO HOSPICE THAT OFFICIALLY OPENED ITS DOORS IN MAY 2011. KIMBILIO IS A 24 BED, INPATIENT HOSPICE THAT CARES FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN LIVING WITH LIFE-LIMITING ILLNESSES. IT ALSO OPERATES OUTPATIENT SERVICES TO CLIENTS IN THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. ITS SERVICES INCLUDE: MANAGEMENT OF PAIN AND OTHER SYMPTOMS AND PROVISION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL, SOCIAL AND SPIRITUAL SUPPORT AND PHYSICAL THERAPY. ADMISSION TO KIMBILIO AND LENGTH OF STAY IS NOT BASED ON RACE, TRIBE, RELIGION, EDUCATIONAL LEVEL, OR THE ABILITY TO PAY-THEY DO NOT DETERMINE A PERSON'S VALUE AND WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE CARE PROVIDED BY OUR TEAM. THE MAIN GOAL IS TO ACHIEVE THE BEST QUALITY OF LIFE FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES FACING ADVANCED DISEASE. IN A CONTINUING EFFORT TO MINISTER TO THE PEOPLE AFFECTED BY HIV/AIDS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN 2012 LIVING ROOM MINISTRIES COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION OF A MORTUARY AND FUNERAL HOME. A WOODSHOP WAS ALSO BUILT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF CASKETS. IN 2017 THE 8 ACRES PURCHASED IN 2015 WERE DEVELOPED AND CONSTRUCTION WAS STARTED IN ELDORET KENYA. THE ELDORET KIMBILIO CARE CENTER WILL BE AN EXPANSION OF LIVING ROOM'S SERVICES. THE NEW CARE CENTER IS BEING BUILT IN THREE PHASES. WHEN COMPLETED, THE CARE CENTER WILL HAVE 52 BEDS FOR PALLIATIVE CARE OF ADULT INPATIENTS, ORPHANS AND AT RISK CHILDREN. IT WILL ALSO HAVE A MORTUARY/FUNERAL HOME, OUTPATIENT CARE CLINIC, PHYSICAL THERAPY FACILITIES, AN EDUCATION CENTER FOR TRAINING HEALTH CARE WORKERS, A WELCOME CENTER AND A HOSTEL FACILITY FOR FAMILIES OF PATIENTS AND GUEST OF THE MINISTRY. IN ADDITION, THERE WILL BE SUPPORT BUILDINGS FOR THE KITCHEN, LAUNDRY, AND MAINTENANCE. THIS NEW SITE IS LOCATED LESS THAN TEN MINUTES FROM A NEWLY OPENED CANCER TREATMENT FACILITY, WHICH HAS NO INPATIENT SERVICES. CONSTRUCTION OF THE PHASE ONE CRESCENT SHAPED 22,000 SQUARE FOOT ELDORET KIMBILIO CARE CENTER WAS COMPLETED IN THE FALL OF 2018. THIS CARE CENTER OPENED IN MAY OF 2019. THE CARE CENTER SURROUNDS A LUSH GARDEN WITH A FULL-GROWN CANOPY OF MATURE TREES WHERE OUR GUEST WILL BE ABLE TO REST AND RELAX. PHASE ONE INCLUDES A CHAPEL, AN OUTPATIENT CLINIC, PHYSICAL THERAPY FACILITIES, A WELCOME CENTER, A CHILDREN'S WARD, A WOMEN'S WARD, A MEN'S WARD, SEMI PRIVATE AND PRIVATE ROOMS FOR A TOTAL OF 49 INPATIENT BEDS.

SINCE ITS INCEPTION, LIVING ROOM MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL HAS REACHED OUT TO MANY AMONG THE KENYA SOCIETY WHO ARE NOT ONLY FACED WITH LIFE-LIMITING ILLNESSES BUT ALSO LACK THE LOVE AND CARE THAT SIGNIFY HUMAN DIGNITY. PALLIATIVE CARE AND THE VALUE OF LIFE HAVE CHARACTERIZED THE GROWTH AND OUTREACH OF LIVING ROOM MINISTRIES FROM ITS SMALL OPERATIONAL BASE IN THE RURAL VILLAGE OF KIPKAREN. THE ORGANIZATION OFFERS QUALITY SERVICES TO OUR GUESTS FREE OF CHARGE AS MOST HAVE ARRIVED AT OUR DOOR DUE TO LACK OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO TRY ANYWHERE ELSE.
