Join us for the 12th annual Walk for the Bu
On Saturday, September 23, come join us for the Walk for the Bu at Campbell Valley Regional Park in Langley, BC from 10am-2pm. We invite you to partner with us as we continue to enhance neurosurgery and health care in West Africa.
We have an audacious goal to raise $100 000 this year through corporate and individual donations to keep up with the growing demand and expansion of need for our partners. We have all felt the impact of rising interest and cost of living and these have also impacted our partners in Liberia, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and The Gambia and they continue to look to us for collaboration.

Why participate?
We invite you to join us as we continue to impact thousands of lives in West Africa and continue to bring safe, compassionate care, surgeries, training, and medical equipment and supplies to those who need it most.
Each year, more than 5 million neurological patients around the world do not receive adequate care, resulting in otherwise avoidable disability and death.
KBNF works to change that.
In 2022:
- we shipped six containers of medical supplies and equipment to four countries
- new partnerships in Sierra Leone allowed for us to return after years of not being able to ship there.
- we distributed medical supplies and equipment to 30 clinics in Liberia
- During our surgical mission in November, 34 patients received surgery
- During that same mission, 66 nurses received 12 hours of direct, in-person training.
This year:
- we've already supported 30 clinics and medical facilities in Liberia
- we returned to Liberia in January with our US partner and conducted an additional 17 surgeries
- we've added The Gambia to our list of recipient countries and loaded a container headed for The Gambia in July.
Next year:
In February 2024, we are planning a multi-facility surgical outreach in Liberia so more patients can receive the life-changing surgery they wouldn’t be able to afford otherwise.
Partner with us. We cannot do it without your generous support.
Help us raise $100,000.
