About us
Our Story
Founded in 2007, KACSU was established to address the educational, health, and social challenges faced by children with albinism in Kenya.
Kenya Albino Child support programme ( KACSU) is a Non- profit organization based in Kenya. The same was registered in 2007 with the sole purpose of helping needy albino children access education.
We are passionate about Kenyan children been given the opportunity and resources to attend school. In particular we think the gift of education is even more of a necessity for the most vulnerable in our society as a means of making them independent and giving them the tools necessary to thrive in life. Also to instil a belief in themselves and their future regardless of them being born with albinism.
We also provide access to other basic necessities eg Sun-lotions, medical checkups, good clothing etc in order to improve their chances in life.
