About Fountain of Hope Treatment Centre
We are a Christian-based addiction treatment and mental wellness facility established in 2009. We provide professional, compassionate and holistic rehabilitation services to individuals, families and organisations affected by alcohol and drug addiction.
The Founders and Philosophy
The centre was founded by Dr. Catherine Amulundu (PhD), a Consultant Psychologist, and Dr. Kalade Amulundu, a Medical Doctor and Public Health Expert. Their vision was to transform the lives of individuals struggling with substance dependence by providing accessible, professional treatment and sustainable recovery support. Over the years, Fountain of Hope has remained committed to this vision, helping individuals overcome addiction, rebuild relationships and regain the confidence and purpose to lead productive lives.
Our philosophy recognises that addiction affects the whole person and requires more than treating physical dependence. We therefore integrate medical care, psychological treatment, counselling, family involvement and Christian spiritual nourishment to address the medical, emotional, social and spiritual dimensions of recovery.
Our History and Experience
Fountain of Hope was established in response to the growing impact of alcohol and drug addiction on individuals, families and communities in Kenya. Before establishing the rehabilitation facility, the founders engaged communities through motivational speaking, public awareness campaigns and substance abuse sensitisation activities. These engagements revealed the need for a dedicated treatment centre offering professional rehabilitation and continued recovery support.
The centre initially opened in Ondiri, Kikuyu, in 2009 before relocating to Syokimau in 2014. Its modern treatment facility officially opened in 2017. Since then, Fountain of Hope has continued to provide addiction treatment, residential rehabilitation, counselling, psychological support and community education. The centre is accredited by the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA).
Our Mission
To provide comprehensive addiction treatment services in a serene and homely environment that promotes healing, personal transformation and sustainable recovery.
Our Vision
A society free from alcohol and drug dependency, where individuals, families and communities have access to effective addiction treatment and recovery support.
Our Motto
Together We Can End Alcohol and Drug Addiction.
Our Approach to Rehabilitation
We adopt a holistic, personalised and multidisciplinary approach that recognises the unique circumstances and treatment needs of every individual. Our interventions address the physical, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of addiction through:
- Medical assessment and management.
- Detoxification and withdrawal support.
- Individual and group counselling.
- Psychotherapy and psychological assessment.
- Family therapy and education.
- Structured residential rehabilitation.
- Christian spiritual support.
Individualised recovery planning and aftercare.
Treatment combines individual sessions with structured small-group interventions to support meaningful engagement and lasting behavioural change.
Our Professional Team
Our multidisciplinary team brings together qualified professionals with expertise in medicine, mental health, psychology, counselling and social work. These include medical doctors, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, counselling psychologists, psychiatric nurses and social workers.
Their combined expertise enables us to address the interconnected medical, psychological and social factors influencing each patient's recovery.
Personalised and Family-Centred Care
We deliberately maintain a residential capacity of no more than 20 residents at any given time. This enables closer patient engagement, individualised attention and meaningful involvement of families throughout treatment.
Recognising that addiction affects entire families, our family therapy and education programmes help relatives understand substance dependence, rebuild relationships and develop practical strategies for supporting recovery.
Our Christian-Based Philosophy
As a Christian-based centre, we integrate spiritual nourishment into our holistic rehabilitation programme. We believe that faith, hope, personal responsibility, positive relationships and a renewed sense of purpose can strengthen the recovery journey. Spiritual support complements our medical and psychological interventions rather than replacing them.
At Fountain of Hope, we believe that recovery is possible and that every individual deserves an opportunity to rebuild their life.
We welcome enquiries from individuals, families and organisations seeking professional addiction treatment, rehabilitation and mental wellness services.
