Get involved
Whether you are living with lupus, caring for someone who is, or simply want to help, there is a place for you here.
Monthly physical meeting
A physical meeting where the LFA community comes together face to face to catch up and support one another. Warriors, caregivers, family members and supporters are all welcome, and new faces especially so.
Call or WhatsApp us for the time and venue of the next meeting.
Join more than 500 warriors and caregivers across seven countries. Membership connects you to peer support, reliable information, chapter activities and a community that understands without needing an explanation.
Membership is open to people living with lupus, caregivers, family members and supporters, and costs KES 500 or USD 4 a year.
Peer support is often the single thing members say changed the most. Our chapters run groups where you can describe a symptom without having to justify it, and learn from people further along the road.
Call or WhatsApp us and we will connect you with the group nearest to you. There is no form to fill in first.
Our events, campaigns and chapter activities run on volunteers. We need help with awareness events, community outreach, communications, translation, photography, logistics and administration.
You do not need to have lupus to volunteer, and you do not need a lot of time.
Caring for someone with lupus carries its own weight, and caregivers are often the last to ask for help. We are forming a dedicated caregivers' support group so that the people holding everyone else up have somewhere of their own.
If you are a caregiver and would like to be part of it, let us know.
