About KCIS


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

KCIS looks for ways to improve life for the poorest people, and at the same time helping to conserve the environment, by taking away the necessity to chop down trees, by conserving water and by using waste to make fertiliser to improve soil, thereby giving better crops.

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 food cooling

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

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

We also run the Twiga Children's Home in 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.
