Learn about our journey, mission, and the people behind our community transformation efforts in Kisumu, Kenya.

Who We Are

The Dawn Of Obunga Community Based Organization was formed on February 10, 2019 by a group of passionate youth activists committed to community transformation in Kisumu, Kenya.

We empower youth, women, and children facing challenges like early pregnancies, crime, drug abuse, illiteracy, and food insecurity. Our holistic approach addresses the root causes of these issues through education, skills development, and community engagement.

Since our founding, we have grown into a trusted organization that bridges the gap between community needs and sustainable solutions, working hand-in-hand with local residents to create lasting change in the Obunga community and beyond.
