About us

Stitching Operation Ear Drop is a charitable organization founded to provide preventive, surgical and rehabilitative services to Kenyans with hearing problems with emphasis on underprivileged children. Stitching Operation Ear Drop targets those Kenyans that are unable to access these services due to financial problems, unavailability of specialized services in their areas, and/or lack of appropriately trained health workers.

A local chapter, was formed in 2003 to take care of activities in Kenya.
