Kitendo Children’s Charity (KCC)

Über uns

In September 2009 a group of five international volunteers and a local Kenyan mother visited an informal settlement of 6,000 people and starting thinking about how they could work together to create change. The group visited homes, talked to families, listened to stories and asked the community about their greatest needs. An idea began to take shape: to focus on vulnerable children. The group decided to join hands and start a new project called Kitendo Children’s Charity (KCC).

Kitendo Children’s Charity (KCC) is an education and feeding program based in Naivasha, Kenya that is dedicated to empowering vulnerable children and families.
