About us
Built on community trust since 2011
Nuru Welfare Foundation is a Kenyan non-profit working alongside county social services to protect children and support vulnerable households.
Our story
From a community initiative to a registered foundation
In March 2011, social work practitioner Grace W. Chebet established Nuru as a community welfare response in Nairobi's informal settlements — addressing child neglect, domestic violence, and household vulnerability.
After formalising as a foundation in 2011, Nuru expanded field operations to Nakuru (2013) and Kisumu (2014). Today we employ 38 staff, including 12 field social workers deployed across three counties.
