The Kipsongo Project

501c3 nonprofit working to empower the community in the Kipsongo Slum in Kenya Kipsongo is one of the worst slums in Africa.

The Kipsongo Project is a non-profit organization located in Kipsongo Slum in Kenya. Its goal is to create long-term, sustainable economic and social well-being for residents of Kipsongo through a locally sourced, designed and manufactured fashion line. Housing conditions are horrendous, residents have virtually no access to healthcare, education or employment opportunities, and a majority of chil

dren are severely malnourished. The Kipsongo Project aims to improve this dire situation by employing Kipsongo women to create a fashion line blending traditional Africa fabrics with modern, high-end fashion and design. The line is sold in Kenya and around the world with proceeds being invested in development initiatives within the slum including micro-enterprise development, a primary school, a medical clinic, a child nutrition program and more. Please email us or check out our website for more information and to learn how you can get involved! www.thekipsongoproject.org

Betty received a solar power irrigation system from the Project a few years back and has been enjoying the benefits of improved crop output, electricity, and easily accessible water. Unfortunately the battery for the system died a few months ago. Last week our team brought her a replacement battery and her system is back up and running!
