Our Story

Building sustainable solutions from the ground up, one community at a time.

Why Ground Level Solutions Exists

Founded in 2018, Ground Level Solutions Kenya emerged from a simple yet powerful observation: the most effective solutions to community challenges come from within the communities themselves. Our founders, having worked in various development sectors across Kenya, recognized that sustainable change requires more than just external interventions—it needs community ownership, local knowledge, and grassroots empowerment.

What started as a small initiative in rural Western Kenya has grown into a comprehensive organization serving communities across the country. We've learned that the "ground level" approach—working directly with communities, understanding their unique challenges, and co-creating solutions—yields the most lasting and meaningful results.

Today, we continue to build on this foundation, expanding our reach while maintaining our core commitment to community-driven development and sustainable impact.
