Celebrate

Every life matters, however brief. We celebrate the profound, lasting impact these tiny souls have on the families who carry them always in their hearts.

Who We Are

A promise of enduring love
for every family

Mtoto Wa Nyota was founded by bereaved parents, grief counsellors, and community leaders in Kenya. We believe that stillbirth must be spoken about openly — with dignity, without shame — and that no family should walk through grief alone. Our work is community-funded and entirely free for all families.

I never knew a love so immediate, so complete, and so devastating. Mtoto Wa Nyota gave me a community who understood, without needing any explanation at all.
