About Us
Entepesi Kenya is a women-led, community-centered health non-profit based in Kajiado Coun ty, Kenya, and was officially registered on March 29, 2021. Founded after three of our four founders witnessed critical gaps in healthcare during a local medical camp, EK was created to deliver quality, accessible services through strong collaboration with the Ministry of Health and grassroots networks.
Inspired by the strength and medicinal properties of the Acacia tree—“Entepesi” in Maasai—EK exists to serve underserved communities through holistic, people-first interventions aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Read more
Our Approach
We prioritize strengthening local government health facilities and promoting community-led healthcare solutions for sustainability
Health Education & Gender Equity
(SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being, SDG 2: Zero Hunger, SDG 1: No Poverty)
Through its Health Education Program, Entepesi Kenya empowers communities with knowledge to make informed decisions for healthier lives. Both young people and adults are guided to prevent disease, embrace healthy lifestyles, and safeguard future generations.
Entepesi advances gender equity by actively advocating for children’s rights, including the fight against early child marriage and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), which are both critical health and social justice issues. To protect and empower girls, EK delivers reproductive health education, menstrual hygiene training, and distributes sanitary pads to girls in primary and secondary schools, particularly in marginalized areas where these commodities are often unavailable
Medical & Nutrition Outreaches
(SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being, SDG 2: Zero Hunger, SDG 1: No Poverty)
Medical outreaches are lifelines for underserved communities, opening access to essential healthcare, creating pathways to transformation, and linking communities to health systems.
Entepesi Kenya’s food relief program complements these efforts by responding strategically to urgent nutrition needs while building long-term resilience. By combining clinical care, nutritional support, community-based education, and health system strengthening, EK ensures families not only survive today but thrive tomorrow.
Capacity Building
(SDG 4: Quality Education, SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being, SDG 5: Gender Equality, SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals)
Entepesi Kenya invests in education, mentorship, and leadership development to build a resilient health workforce capable of addressing today’s health challenges and seizing tomorrow’s opportunities.
Through scholarships for needy students pursuing health-related degrees, EK nurtures a pipeline of skilled professionals who will serve their communities with excellence, ensuring sustainability and inclusivity in the healthcare system.
One Health
(SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being, SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation, SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals)Entepesi Kenya adopts the One Health framework, recognizing that human health is deeply interconnected with animals and the environment. By promoting cross-sector collaboration and sustainable practices, EK strengthens holistic community development—because true health is possible only when people, animals, and ecosystems are in balance.
