About us

We are a non-profit organisation working in rural areas of Kenya. Our goal is to protect girls who are at risk of FGM and child marriage, improve access to education and implement sustainable WASH solutions. We support vulnerable girls and enable them to attend school and receive protection through our assistance.

At the same time, we implement practical WASH infrastructure, that includes clean drinking water, gender-sensitive sanitation facilities, and safe wastewater disposal to break the cycle of disease caused by poor sanitation and inadequate hygiene. This improves children's health, reduces preventable diseases and enables children to grow up with greater dignity and better future prospects.

Our work is guided by the Christian understanding of being our brother's keeper and is in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this way, we combine immediate protection with long-term, sustainable impact for children and communities.
