OUR STORY

CYAN KENYA is a registered youth led Community Based Organization established in February 2016 as a youth group in the western region of Kaksingri. It was formally registered in May 2019 under the ministry of Gender, Children and Social Services (Registration Number CBO/HUD/0058/2019) as a non – profitable and non – political community-based organization led by young volunteers who wanted to mitigate sexual and reproductive health challenges faced by adolescents and young people in the rural communities.
The organization operates in the rural villages of Suba South and North Sub-Counties, of Homa Bay County in Kenya. Its goal is to concentrate on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRH&R) services, and Youth Economic Empowerment geared towards addressing the unique needs of the resident youths, facilitating behavioral change and social well-being at the grassroots levels.
