We work with different partners that assist us in identifying families in need. Other social organizations and village leaders refer cases to us that identify families suffering under their current conditions. In addition, the Family Department of the Social Welfare Office seeks out our help.

During the first visit to the family's home, we get an impression of the family and their problems and write down all the important facts and information. During follow-up visits, we continue to engage with the family members and understand them better. We develop individual solutions to change their current tumultuous situation into one with more stability and safety. 

Veronica is a widow and mother of two teenagers.

We helped secure a stall at the local market, provided some of the materials and advised on how to run her very own profitable vegetable business! Veronica goes to the central market in town to buy the vegetables and sells them later at the local market near her home. Her daughter can now go to school to receive an education, and the family has enough money to pay for their basic needs.

As the slideshow shows, we built a shower for a family in a village, using affordable, functional and local materials. In addition, we create safe living spaces by building bathrooms, toilets, roofs, or even rooms and houses, which you can see in the video above. Another example of the help Kipepeo will continue to provide is shown on our story page. We built a house for a family affected by albinism, as it is extremely dangerous for albinos to be in the sun for extended periods of time.
