These outreaches allow KIHEFO to work with needy communities, schools, and people living with HIV/AIDs. Projects are inspired by the needs of the nearby communities insuring community support and effectiveness

Our Approach

KIHEFO believes poverty, ignorance, and disease are interconnected, and therefore, all must be addressed to break the cycle. Based on this philosophy, the organization pursues a holistic and participatory approach to community development. Using a bottom-up strategy, individual people are given the necessary care to become productive community members.  The key to their approach is to educate and empower people so they can live a positive, economically productive and healthy life.
