CWIN International

Kenya

Summary

Community Wellness International (CWIN) was founded late 2014, by a group of friends of career backgrounds in Social work, Health/Medical, Industrial Science, Environmental Conservation, Sanitation and Entrepreneurship. The idea was sparked by the existing rampant poverty and poor livelihood in the sprawling slums of Nakuru Township. It was hard to imagine a future of children who could not go to school in this day; the current livelihood they are going through; if and how they get food, clothing, beddings and how they access health services when they fall sick. The situation of the “down trodden” in society was/is ‘heart rending’ and greatly challenged the friends to do something, especially to assist vulnerable children in the society. Assuming a practical and more sustainable approach, the friends decided to form and register a Non Governmental Organization (NGO) to facilitate mobilization of resources to address the challenge. They decided too that the NGO would serve all humanity in need and chose to name it, ‘Community Wellness International’ (CWIN) and registered it on March 5th 2015, with the NGO Co-ordination Board of Kenya, No.OP.218/051/14-0502/9866. Currently, the Organization is operating from Nakuru at KFA Plaza, East Wing, Geoffrey Kamau Way 1st floor, door No. 3. Its- Seven (7) members Board of Directors (BOD) - is doing everything in its ability to enable CWIN take-off. In time, it’s hopeful that, it will access adequate resources and recruit the necessary personnel to implement its core programmes.
