Who We Are
A community-rooted organisation in Kiambu County
We are a registered Community Based Organisation working in Ruiru. Our work is ordinary and constant: visiting families in their homes, supporting the centres that care for children with severe disabilities, and making sure older people living alone are not forgotten.
We publish what we can evidence and nothing more. More about how we are registered and governed.
What We Do
Three activities. One purpose: dignity.
These are the three activities we are registered for, and the only ones we claim.
Caring for OVCs, the Elderly and People with Disabilities
Home visits, practical supplies, and support for the centres already caring for children with severe disabilities.
