on Saturday, May 31st, 2025, Osho Chemical Industries proudly facilitated a team of its employees to take part in the Mater Heart Run, a nationwide charity event organized by The Mater Hospital. The event was both challenging and rewarding, offering participants a fun and healthy way to spend their weekend while contributing to a truly noble cause.
The Mater Heart Run is a flagship fundraising initiative supporting the Mater Cardiac Program, which was launched in 1995 to provide life-saving cardiac treatment to children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. At a time when access to quality cardiac care in Kenya was limited, Mater Hospital stepped in to bridge the gap—performing its first open-heart surgery in 1996.
Guided by the compassionate values of the Sisters of Mercy, the program has since grown tremendously. Over 3,000 heart procedures have been successfully conducted, most by Kenyan doctors, thanks to the continued support from well-wishers and corporate partners like Osho Chemical Industries.
Since its inception in 2002, the Mater Heart Run has expanded from a single-city event in Nairobi to a multi-location effort spanning 10 towns across Kenya, including Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Eldoret. In addition, the hospital has rolled out free cardiac screening camps to help communities detect and prevent heart disease early.
Osho Chemical Industries is honored to support this initiative, which not only saves lives but also uplifts entire families. We look forward to participating in future runs and continuing our commitment to health, community, and compassion.
