Through THAP's efforts, just over 100 children and young adults, many of them from the desperately poor shantytowns surrounding Nairobi, Kenya have been able to return to normal, healthy lives with their families.
THAP was recently visited by several of our former patients who are now adults leading healthy and productive lives.
