Kipepeo Community Empowerment Program

Welcome to the official website of the Kipepeo Community Empowerment Program (KCEP).

We are a community-based organization in the Emuhaya district of western Kenya, started in October 2009 with the goal of spearheading community-driven development initiatives to empower needy people in the local villages. We do this by providing services and assistance for the right livelihood of various groups in need of support through programs such as HIV/AIDS education, capacity-building, organic farming projects, art and clay works, computer services, eco-tourism, and microfinance.

We also run an orphanage with the goal of rehabilitating street kids and supporting vulnerable children.

Thank you for stopping by. We hope that you will take the time to learn about our mission, read about our work, and be inspired to help improve lives in our corner of the world.

NEW VIDEO

We've been privileged to have Canadian volunteers Paul Snider and Scott Armstrong volunteer with us in Emuhaya for the last several weeks.

Out of their experiences, a video was born (see right), which wonderfully captures the work we do here. Many hearty thanks to Paul for his hard work putting this together!

Check out Paul and Scott's recent blog about their experiences in Kenya.
