At GKL Community-Based Organization, we believe that true empowerment begins with a healthy body, mind, and spirit. Guided by our values of Compassion, Respect, and Transformation, we design health and wellness initiatives that address the pressing needs of our communities—especially youth, women, and vulnerable groups.
Our Focus Areas
Reproductive & Sexual Health
We provide education, awareness, and support around sexual and reproductive health. This includes menstrual health management, sanitary towel donations, and campaigns against early marriages and gender-based violence.
Teen Mentorship & Life Skills
Our Kipusa Initiative and school mentorship programs in places like Rusinga Island focus on equipping adolescents with knowledge, confidence, and the tools to make healthy life choices.
Mental Health & Wellness
Through mentorship programs, community dialogues, and safe spaces, we promote mental wellness and resilience, helping young people and families cope with everyday challenges.
Drug & Substance Abuse Awareness
We educate communities on the dangers of drug and substance abuse, while promoting positive alternatives through sports, talent nurturing, and peer mentorship.
Community Care & Support
From children’s home visits to health outreach programs, we are committed to giving back, fostering kindness, and uplifting those in need.
