About

Built by the community, for the community

Who We Are

Legacy CBO is a community-based organization operating within Embakasi sub-counties. We bring together community members who believe in practical, people-centered action—strengthening health awareness, empowering youth and women economically, and supporting community microfinance initiatives that help small businesses grow.

Our work is grounded in local leadership, shared responsibility, and integrity. We believe sustainable community change must be trusted, transparent, and owned by the people it serves.

Vision

A healthy, empowered, and financially resilient community.

Mission

To strengthen community wellbeing through health sensitization, youth and women empowerment initiatives, and microfinance support that grows livelihoods and hope.

Practical programs guided by shared principles
