Bonyo's Kenya Mission
Changing the world one life at a time
Bonyo’s Kenya Mission is committed to ensuring a sustainable, year-round health care model by raising the funds to provide for medical care, Kenya-only-based staff salaries, counseling services, NGO partnerships, maternity and well-baby care services, emergency services, disaster recover, and ongoing maintenance to buildings and vehicles.
The child sponsorship program is dedicated to providing school fees and necessary supplies to children who qualify for the program. We also assist with providing teachers at Masara Primary and other local schools with educational support.
Dr. Bonyo Bonyo
Founder, Board Member, Good Guy
Dr. Bonyo was born and raised in Wan'gaya Village. As a young man he had the rare opportunity to travel to the United States to further his education and become a doctor. He promised the people of his village that he would return to help them. True to his word, he returned in 1995 and ever year since, with a group of medical professionals to help these Kenyan people. While back in the USA, Dr. Bonyo provides care to the underserved people of Akron, Ohio and monitors the care provided by the Mama Pilista Bonyo Memorial Health Centre, remotely.
Heidi Weisel
President, Board of Directors
Heidi has volunteered with BKM since 2010 when she took her first trip to Kenya. On her first trip, she met a young man who she began to sponsor for school. He graduated high school in 2020 graduated from college as a Biomedical Engineer in 12/2024, and continues his studies in Nursing so he can repay his appreciation to BKM. Heidi has delivered multiple vintage Singer99 sewing machines to the clinic to allow the women of the village to sew the products they need for themselves and their families. At home, she is involved with several community support organizations to fulfill her passion for community outreach and service.
