Our Background
The organization was started based on a story born about 32 years ago in 1991, when a young man – Mohamed Jama Mohamed, traveled to Isiolo Hospital in Kenya from Somalia for treatment, having 35% burns from gasoline explosives on February 1st, 1991, during the Somalia civil war. Mohamed met a kind-hearted nurse in Isiolo Hospital, Ms. Florence Lintari, who took good care of him until he recovered. After recovery, Mohamed, through UNHCR, went to the USA as a refugee. He changed his career from an Agricultural Officer to a medical professional and became an operating theatre nurse from the inspiration he had received from Ms. Florence Lintari. Because of this experience, Mohamed started HEPTO on May 18th, 2018, in the State of Minnesota The United States of America, to give back to the community. HEPTO-Kenya is headed by Ms. Florence Lintari, a Registered Community Health Nurse who has worked for over 35 years in various urban and rural hospitals and departments in three of Kenya’s targeted counties.
