OUR STORY

From one promise to a long-term collaboration.

In 2008, Tanya Van Braekel - a paediatric nurse- arrived at Nkoaranga Lutheran Hospital and was immediately struck by the dedication of her local colleagues and by the limited resources they had to work with.

One particular patient, a young girl named Faridji, left a lasting impression. Her story became the silent spark behind Nkoaranga Watoto.

Over time, what began as a heartfelt promise grew into something more structured: a non-profit organisation committed to support the hospital’s pediatric care in close dialogue with the people on the ground.
