Who we are
An intersex-led organisation, grounded in lived experience.
Lasting change takes more than supporting individual children. It means strengthening the families, institutions and systems that shape their lives, through community leadership, evidence-informed advocacy and strategic partnerships.
Vision
A Kenya where every intersex child and young person lives with dignity, enjoys equal rights, and has the opportunity to grow, participate, lead and thrive.
Mission
To advance the rights, wellbeing and leadership of intersex children and young people through empowerment, family and community engagement, systems strengthening, strategic advocacy and movement building.
Our strategic identity
Six pillars that guide everything we do.
🌟
Intersex-led leadership
Solutions are shaped and led by people with lived experience.
🧒
Children & youth at the centre
Every programme improves the lives of intersex children and young people.

⚙️

📊
Evidence-informed advocacy
Research, lived experience and learning guide our programmes and influence.
What we do
Five pathways that turn change into action.
01
Empowering children and young people
Safe, inclusive spaces for accurate information, mentorship, peer connection, leadership and life skills, so every child can understand who they are and claim their rights.
02
Strengthening families and caregivers
Parents and guardians are the foundation of a child’s wellbeing. We build understanding, acceptance and confidence so families can affirm, protect and speak up for their children.
03
Building inclusive schools and communities
Working with teachers, faith leaders and youth groups to challenge stigma, promote inclusion and create places where intersex children belong.
04
Advancing rights-based health, protection and justice
Advocacy and capacity strengthening for ethical healthcare, bodily autonomy, legal protection and equal access to justice, including legal consultations.
05
Strengthening the intersex movement
Leadership development, coalition building, research, public awareness and policy advocacy for change that lasts.
Our theory of change
When children are empowered, families equipped, institutions accountable and laws inclusive, every intersex child can grow up safe, healthy, included and empowered to reach their full potential.
Our partners
Change is a shared responsibility.
We work alongside communities, government, civil society, healthcare bodies, academia and the private sector.
