Bayt Abdullah Children’s Hospice is designed to accommodate the needs of children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions and their families, in Kuwait. The hospice building itself is part of a continuum of care that offers children and their families the maximum freedom of choice without compromising the quality of that care, whether at home in hospital or within the hospice itself. This fully comprehensive service will offer day care facilities, residential respite, emergency and terminal care The design has focused on the needs of children and their families with the emphasis on an attractive, child friendly, inter-active environment and a comfortable, homely atmosphere, supported by trained, highly skilled paediatric nursing and medical staff.

Why Bayt Abdullah?
The proposed children's hospice for Kuwait was inspired by a young boy called Abdullah who returned to Kuwait following treatment in London for neuroblastoma. After lengthy hospital stays and often painful procedures there was eventually no further treatment possible that would offer hope for a cure.
Abdullah's mother promised him that he would never again have to stay in a hospital.
In 1989, after attending a series of lectures organised by KACCH on children's perceptions of death and dying, Abdullah's mother approached KACCH, and it was agreed that they would help her take care of her little boy at home. Abdullah died in her arms at home just before his fifth birthday.
Witnessing Abdullah and his family's courage and determination to live as normal a life as possible in the face of his approaching death, encouraged KACCH to work towards the provision of similar care for other children in Kuwait who are terminally ill. A children's hospice has now been designed to give those children the specialised care they need, ensuring peace and dignity at the end of their short lives, and provide their families with support and comfort in their bereavement. It will be called “Bayt Abdullah” in memory of Abdullah and his family.

LWDLIK- This is a privately funded project by some of the most dedicated and caring people in Kuwait. Thank you Margaret Al Sayer, her family and team of volunteers for their unyeilding determination and hard work, their love, compassion and humanity and their fine example of what God expects of all of us.
A child dying is a sad thought and  for them to die in a ward of a government hospital here in Kuwait is unbearable. Pls donate.. it's a great feeling to help others in need.
