ABOUT US
Change Africa Foundation is a non-political, non-partisan and non-profit making Community Based Organization formed to facilitate social-economic mitigation for the betterment of the lives of orphaned, poor and destitute children, with specific emphasis in Siaya County-Kenya. The organization is formed on the belief that the poor communities are able to utilize the locally available resources at their disposal to uplift their own socio-economic status once they are empowered.
The organization greatly focuses on promotion of socio-economic empowerment, formal and informal education on environment, health and human rights as strategies for sustainable poverty reduction and means to sustainable livelihood.
Change Africa Foundation also takes social approach in addressing HIV&AIDS and gender as cross cutting issues in her areas of focus and therefore ensures their incorporation in her key program areas.
The organization is established to work closely with the government institutions such as the local provincial administration, learning institutions, women, men, male and female youths and other community based institutions such as the faith based organizations and local groups at different levels in the community.
The organization’s work will be concentrated in sampled districts in Nairobi county as an entry point with the intention of scaling up to the higher levels and with a view of replicating the best practices and lessons learnt in other parts of the province.Change Africa Foundation believes in networking with other like-minded organizations to maximize the development impact in her target areas of focus and beyond.
