We promote social and economic independence of youth with disabilities and their families in the informal settlements of Kenya.

GCC is an award-winning youth with disabilities led organization founded in 2008 and operationalized in 2018 in Kibera slums, Kenya. GCC works with all types of disabilities aged between 15-40 years in informal settlements and in colleges. We mentor, educate, inform, empower, and advocate for the rights of youth with disabilities. We have created a strong movement of over 200 youth with disabilities from colleges/universities of Kenya and supported the establishment of over 15 self-help groups led by youth with disabilities across 47 counties for self-sufficiency. We have also a business hub which is a collection of different businesses and talents by persons with disabilities, meant to provide an income as well as change community perceptions and attitudes towards persons with disabilities. So far, GCC has directly impacted over 5000 persons with disabilities and 10,000 indirectly.

GCC has contributed to the review of different policies on disability inclusion in Kenya and is led by well-educated youth with disabilities and a strong board with expertise who are available for advice whenever needed. Our vision is promote social and economic independence of youth with disabilities and their families in the informal settlements and colleges of Kenya. Our mission is promote decent living and full utilization of untapped potential of youth with disabilities. Our main pillars include research and advocacy, youth leadership and governance, health programming (GBV and HIV prevention, SRHR, mental health, and menstrual hygiene), sustainable livelihoods, and education.

Our previous activities include implementation of different projects including GBV prevention against women with disabilities, SRHR project, sanitary kits provision to 500 girls with disabilities, business hub establishment and business development trainings, HIV prevention among the deaf, among others. In future, we intend to scale these projects to other 46 counties.
