THM caregiver trainees practicing bedside care in the skills lab

About Therapeutic
Hands

A Kenyan caregiver training school empowering people with life-saving skills — under the NITA curriculum in Nairobi and Kisumu.

Therapeutic Hands Management Co. Limited (THM) is a caregiver training institution registered in April 2023. We prepare students for professional service in hospitals, elder care homes, childcare centres, and private home-based care.

From classroom theory to hands-on clinical practice, THM exists to equip caregivers who safeguard children and adults at risk — with empathy, love, and respect.

Our Mission

To equip caregivers with high-quality skills that enable them to safeguard children and adults at risk, with empathy, love, and respect.

We train under the National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) curriculum, combining clinical precision with the human heart of caregiving across Nairobi and Kisumu Counties.

NITA-Certified Training

THM trains caregivers under the National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) curriculum — Kenya’s recognised standard for industrial and vocational training.

Our Certificate in Caregiver program prepares graduates for immediate employment under registered nurse supervision in clinical settings, and for confident practice in institutional and home-based care.

NITA alignment ensures the skills you learn meet national expectations for professional caregiving across Kenya’s healthcare and social care sectors.

Philosophy and Objectives

Caregiving is not only a set of procedures — it is a calling of accountability, confidentiality, and compassion. Every skill we teach is grounded in dignity for the person receiving care.

THM is dedicated to producing caregivers who communicate clearly with families and clinicians, act with integrity, and treat every patient with equality and kindness.
