Over 75% of the population in Kakamega, Kenya, survives on less than $2 a day. Poverty is a daily reality.
We saw the struggles firsthand. We saw dreams slowly fading under the weight of hardship. We knew we couldn’t wait for change to come from elsewhere.
That is why we created Tenda Wema , a community organization born from compassion and driven by the urgent need to act.
The name Tenda Wema is a Swahili Word which means “Do Good” – a philosophy that defines who we are and what we stand for.
It reflects a grassroots vision of empowering the community to rise out of poverty.

As a struggling single mother, paying school fees was impossible. Thanks to Tenda Wema CBO, my son and two daughters are back in school. They restored my hope.

Before joining Tenda Wema CBO’s youth program, I had no skills and no clear path. The training and mentorship gave me practical knowledge and confidence to start a small business.
