Gentle stories. Big understanding.
When children understand, communities become kinder. Our books help young readers understand epilepsy, challenge stigma and embrace friendship, empathy and inclusion.
Stigma is learned young. So is kindness.
A classmate falls. Nobody knows what to do. And a child learns a fear they carry for life. We write stories that get there first, so there is nothing to unlearn later.
Every book in the NeuroReach Friends Series uses warm, African-centred storytelling and characters children recognise. Teachers use them in class. Parents read them at home. Community health promoters carry them into households.
The series is published in English, Kiswahili and Shona, so the stories can travel in the languages children already speak at home.
54,099 children reached so far, with 500 books donated through KCB Foundation across Kikuyu Sub-County.
Three stories, one message
The Day the Purple Kite Flew
A story about a child, a purple kite and a classroom that learns to stay instead of run away. Written so that every child can be understood, included and loved, regardless of an epilepsy diagnosis. Launched in Nairobi in August 2026.
My Friend Amani
Amani has seizures, and Amani has friends. A warm, simple story about what friendship looks like when you understand what is happening and know exactly what to do.
Sam Is Still Sam
A diagnosis does not change who a child is. Sam Is Still Sam helps young readers separate the condition from the person, and see the child first.

Put a book in a classroom that has never talked about epilepsy
Schools, counties, hospitals and organisations can sponsor sets of books for children who need them most. Our goal is to reach all 300 sub-counties across Kenya, and beyond.
