He said the Israeli Embassy has partnered with FEM since 2013, describing the church as a key humanitarian partner whose work in health, education and community development has positively impacted many Kenyans.

“We have a very long-standing relationship with FEM Church. We appreciate their work in supporting communities through healthcare, education and strengthening faith,” Behar said.

Dr. Edith Mburu, Head of FEM’s Medical Department, said the donation will boost the church’s medical outreach programme, which provides free consultations, treatment and medication to underserved communities.

“Our mission has always been to serve God by serving people. We believe faith is demonstrated through practical acts of love, and healthcare is one of the ways we fulfil that mission,” she said.

Mburu said the church has already conducted one major medical camp in Narok this year, treating about 1,500 patients , and plans another outreach in Kibera later this year.

She noted that many patients seen during the outreaches suffer from chronic illnesses such as hypertension and diabetes but are unable to afford medication for months at a time.
