WHO WE ARE

ABOUT US

HWC-KENYA began as a volunteer grassroots initiative led by a team of young visionaries dedicated to supporting neglected children and vulnerable teenage girls in accessing education in Northern Kenya. The impact of these benevolent activities attracted more support, inspiring the vision to establish a formal organization that could operate legally, professionally, and in a coordinated manner. In 2022, HWC-KENYA was officially registered as a Community-Based Organization (CBO), and by 2024, it transitioned into a fully-fledged Non-Governmental Organization (NGO).
