About KESSOI CBO

Empowering Kenyans at home and abroad through collective investment and sustainable development

Executive Summary

Kenya Economic & Social Solidarity Initiative (KESSOI CBO) is a community-driven, inclusive organization committed to transforming livelihoods, fostering inclusive economic growth, and building climate-resilient communities in Nairobi's Kasarani Subcounty and beyond.

Over the next five years, KESSOI will position itself as Kenya's go-to diaspora investment and community development platform — bridging the gap between Kenyan diaspora capital, local entrepreneurship, and sustainable development priorities.

KESSOI's approach is anchored in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the African Union's Agenda 2063, ensuring that every project not only responds to immediate community needs but also advances long-term regional and global aspirations.

Our 2025-2030 Focus Areas

  • Economic Empowerment through business loans and training
  • Climate-Resilient Development and green enterprises
  • Financial Inclusion and cooperative investment
  • Social Cohesion and inclusion programs

By 2030, KESSOI aims to have mobilized $5 million in diaspora-linked investments, created 10,000 sustainable livelihoods, and transformed Kasarani into a model hub for inclusive growth in urban Kenya.
