Nakuru, Kenya: Six years after she helped establish a hospice in Nakuru town, Elizabeth Wambui Ndung’u can rest with an easy mind.

“Pity is akin to love and nothing gives me more satisfaction than interacting with scores of cancer patients who have been receiving drugs at this facility,” Elizabeth tells me as we sit in the small boardroom at the Nakuru Hospice.
