Who We Are

Rooted in Community.
Driven by Compassion.

Unyenyekevu CBO was formed from within the communities we serve, shaped by lived experience and local leadership. Our work is grounded in listening, partnership, and a commitment to walk alongside children, families, and people living with disabilities, not just deliver short-term aid.

We believe meaningful change happens when communities are respected, involved, and supported for the long term.

What We Do

Practical action shaped by real community needs.

Our work responds directly to the realities faced by families in Kakuma and Kitale, focusing on protection, access and long term resilience

EDUCATION

EDUCATION & LEARNING ACCESS

Because schooling is often the first thing lost

We help children stay in school by reducing barriers caused by displacement, poverty, and disability through learning support and community-based education initiatives.

HEALTHCARE

Healthcare Outreach

Because access should not depend on location

Through outreach, referrals, and health education, we support families facing limited access to basic healthcare, especially in marginalized and displaced settings.

PSYCHO-SOCIAL & COMMUNITY SUPPORT

Psycho-Social & Community Support

Because survival without wellbeing is not success

We provide psychosocial support that helps children and families cope with trauma, stress, and displacement while strengthening community connection and resilience.

All our programs are community led, context specific and accountable to the people we serve
