Field-led. County-aligned. Community-rooted.

We complement — not replace — county social services. Every case is documented, every referral is tracked, and every household receives follow-up from a named field officer.

  • Home visits — structured assessments in Nairobi, Nakuru, and Kisumu counties
  • County coordination — direct liaison with children's officers and gender desks
  • Safeguarding — all staff trained in child protection reporting procedures
