About Us
The Empowering Lives, Building Futures project, founded in 1998 and registered in 2011, is rooted in the personal experiences of Reverend Rosemary Gichohi, who overcame childhood struggles with disability to create a foundation of hope.
Starting with outreach in the streets of Nairobi, the project now serves children, the disabled, the elderly, and marginalized groups by providing education, healthcare, and social support to break the cycle of poverty and exclusion. Its mission is to transform lives, restore dignity, and offer opportunities for a brighter future.
