About KCIS

Kenyan Community Initiative Support (KCIS) is a non-profit organisation based in Kenya. The organisation will be seeking charitable status in Kenya and the UK and also NGO status in Kenya.

KCIS helps people improve their standard of living in a sustainable way.

We believe that it is better to give people a way to earn an income, or grow sufficient crops, so that they can support themselves and their families with dignity, rather than constant hand-outs.

We research and develop simple-to-use, low-technology ways to improve life in rural areas:

• Water Purification (hand-in-hand with personal hygiene education for children)
• Methane collectors to provide fuel for cooking, to run a generator or borehole pump, etc.
• Water collection
• Mosquito & larva control to help eradicate malaria
• Solar cooking

Then we show people how to use them, make them and maintain them.

We have expertise in mechanical engineering, electrics, solar energy.

We also support children's organisations:

• Silverstone Junior School, Watamu
• Mercy Gate Champion Children's Home, Kisii

Our dream, however far-fetched, is that all children in Kenya should have as good a start in life as possible, to make them useful citizens in the future.

KCIS believes that:

Everyone has the right to earn a reasonable income.

All children, regardless of race, colour, ethnicity or creed have the right to good health, an education and a proper home.
