About The Jackson Clinics Foundation

The Jackson Clinics Foundation, Inc. (JCF) was established in 2012 with a singular mission: to enhance physiotherapy education in sub-Saharan Africa. Every dollar we receive directly supports this cause—100% of funds go toward advancing physiotherapy education in East and Central Africa, particularly through our programs in Nairobi, Kenya. No administrative fees are deducted, ensuring maximum impact.

Our Impact

In collaboration with Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) and AMREF International University (AMIU), we have proudly graduated over 395 students across various programs, including Higher National Diplomas (HNDs) and Bachelor’s degree upgrades. Currently, we have:

• 160 students in our Bachelor’s program

• 90 students in the Bachelor’s upgrade program

• 60 students in Advanced Diploma programs

With these numbers, we are on track to graduate an additional 100 students every year!

Beyond financial support, we have mobilized over 150 expert physical therapists from the United States—leaders in their field—who have volunteered their time and expertise to teach and mentor our students.

Our Mission

At The Jackson Clinics Foundation, we are committed to elevating the skills of physiotherapists through advanced education and mentorship, ultimately transforming patient care in communities where access to quality physiotherapy is limited.

We strive to develop advanced practitioners who will lead their communities and drive the progress of clinical care and education in their regions.

Our Faculty & Philosophy

Our faculty members serve as stewards of the profession, taking on the responsibility of fostering the next generation of advanced physiotherapists. Their role extends beyond teaching; they mentor practitioners in:

• Evidence-based patient care

• Integrating research into clinical practice

• Collaborating across multidisciplinary teams

• Maintaining a commitment to lifelong learning

By instilling a sense of creative inquiry, passion, and professional responsibility, we aim to inspire current and future practitioners to engage actively in their communities and professional organizations—ensuring a lasting ripple effect in healthcare.

The Ripple Effect:
"Teach One – Treat Many"

With a strong infrastructure in place, our programs continue to expand and evolve. Yet, our mission remains steadfast: to improve human lives. We believe in the transformative power of education, operating under a simple yet profound principle:

"Teach One – Treat Many."
