About the Project
Leader

In 2001 Dr Karilyn Collins, a palliative care physician from the UK, and her husband Dr Richard Collins a general physician, went to work in Teule hospital Muheza. Richard became the hospital medical superintendent and senior physician. 

Karilyn, who could see a huge need for palliative care within the hospital and the community, founded Muheza Hospice Care.

Karilyn has supported the children and young people’s service at St. Michael’s Hospice since its inception in 2003 and still volunteers her time for children’s support groups.

Karilyn also worked as a hospice doctor for St. Michael’s Hospice.

It is Karilyn’s passion that has sparked this project and it’s with her will and ambition that all of this is possible.

 

In 2014 Emma Speedy started working in St. Michael's Hospice Hereford as a social worker with the children and families team. She supported young lives affected by the illness or loss of a loved one. 

​

After a visit from Edgar, Muheza Hospice's social worker who runs their kids club; Emma had an idea! Inspired by the stories of the children and young people needing support in Muheza, and the courage, strength and ambition of those she worked with at St. Michael's Hospice; Emma developed the YPO project Muheza. A project where young people could come together from across the equator to share mutual compassion and understanding of what it means to lose someone you love.
