Community Health
We seek to support access to quality healthcare through community medical centres and bi-annual medical camps in Makueni (Kitandini), Machakos (Mwala and Mbooni East), and Kitui County. These interventions reduce long travel distances to health facilities and improve preventive and curative care for thousands of residents..

Water Towers & Aquifers Management
Umbrella NGO goal on water issues is to rehabilitate and protect degraded water towers and wetlands in Kajiado, Kwale, Makueni, and Kitui. These initiatives help restore year-round water availability and reduce the burden of long-distance water collection.
Borehole Drilling
To address chronic water shortages, we will engage in drilling and equipping boreholes in water-scarce areas including Kitandini, Uvanga Village, and Nguuni. This improves access to clean water for households, schools, and livelihoods.
