About Us.

HACEP Kenya is a National NGO committed to enhancing health outcomes and sustainable development across Kenya. Founded with a vision to improve community well-being, we prioritize disease prevention, maternal and child health—with a special focus on sickle cell screening—and empowerment of vulnerable groups, including women in mining. Our work is driven by strong partnerships with local and international stakeholders, advocating for safer working conditions, occupational health, and economic resilience through community-led solutions.

We empower communities by addressing socio-economic determinants of health, providing gender-sensitive education, and building capacity among local health promoters. Based in the Lake Region, we are dedicated to creating thriving, healthy societies through innovative programs and collaborative efforts.
