Befrienders Kenya is a charitable organisation focusing on suicide prevention by offering emotional support to those who may be in distress and therefore in danger of dying by suicide as well as creating awareness on suicide within communities. It is so far, the only organisation in Kenya with a specific focus on suicide prevention.
The services are run by volunteers and sustained through donations from well wishers and through partnership with Africa Mental Health Foundation.
Befrienders Kenya was registered as Samaritan Kenya in 2004 as a non-profit organization.However active Samaritans work did not start until October 2007 when the office was officially set up. In 2013 the organization changed its name to Befrienders Kenya in line with the global network which also covers the geographical areas under which the organization falls.
