Kilele Foundation Kenya
Kilele
Foundation is a registered Community Based Organization (CBO) with the
Ministry of Gender and Social Services in Kenya. The organization was
founded in 2002 with a view to empowering local communities in Machakos
County in Kenya to participate effectively in transforming their own
socio-economic lives.
The formation of the foundation was
precipitated by increased socio-economic problems in the county
including youth unemployment that has resulted to drug abuse, chronic
alcoholism and village crime, increased economic bondage of women,
increased spread of HIV/AIDS, wanton destruction of the environment,
apparent neglect of the disabled, low levels of access to clean and safe
drinking water and marginalization of the girl child.
It is
against this background that Kilele Foundation was formed with a view to
mobilizing donor funding and local community support in order to
generate local solutions for local socio-economic challenges in line
with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
