About Kenya Red Cross Training Institute
Director’s Welcome
At KRCTI, we believe that effective emergency response begins with capable, confident and well-prepared people.
Since 2010, the institute has worked to strengthen emergency and pre-hospital care by equipping learners and professionals with practical lifesaving skills.
Our programmes serve people at different stages of their journey, from school leavers beginning a professional career to experienced practitioners seeking advanced or specialised training.
As emergency, health and humanitarian needs continue to evolve, KRCTI remains committed to practical learning, professional excellence, innovation and service to communities.
