The HealthStore Foundation® ( www.healthstore.org ) is an award-winning organization that operates the CFW (Child and Family Wellness) franchise network of medical clinics owned and operated by local nurses in Kenya. CFW is a business format franchise and has served over 5 million people in Kenya since the year 2000, distributing effective-quality medicine in challenging areas where substandard medicine kills people.
