About Miss Koch Kenya (MKK)
INUA – BORESHA – STAWISHA
Miss Koch Kenya (MKK) is a not-for-profit youth empowerment organization that transforms lives through education and mentorship, talents and entrepreneurship, mental and sexual reproductive health promotes behaviour change, child protection and development.
At the time of establishment, crime and gender-based violence were rife in Korogocho slum. A group of committed young people decided something had to be done and recognized the need for a platform that could address these vices and push for change in their community.
In the year 2010, after years of good work in the community, MKK transformed from being a Community Based Organization (CBO) to a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and was registered in 2010 under the Non- Governmental Organization Coordination Board Organization Act (Cap 19) of 1990. MKK continues to develop and gain experience across a range of areas critical to the Youth, building its competence and refining its vision and mission as to what is the best way to address the many issues facing the Youth in informal settlements. With the mandate to serve across the county
MKK has been able to create impact through her programmes in partnership with individuals, corporates, INGOs, philanthropists, government and other local non government actors.
