We are Always Ready for a Challenge in Building Resilient
Communities along the Lake Victoria Basin in Busia.
At Kenge Content Hive, we believe in the power of creativity and collective action to shape a better world.
Through storytelling, culture, and community engagement, we amplify voices, nurture equality, inspire youth, and champion human rights.
Our work is rooted in joy, wellbeing, and shared purpose — bringing people together to imagine and create a more just, sustainable, and connected future.
Since our early beginnings — even before our official registration in 2020 — Kenge Content Hive has been on a transformative journey of creativity, collaboration, and community impact. Through meaningful partnerships with organizations such as Design Reparations, Indigenous and Modern, World for Climate App, Healing Trees Initiative, and Jael’s Arm of Hope Center, we’ve implemented more than a dozen projects advancing environmental sustainability, cultural revival, and community wellbeing. Together, we have planted over 30,000 trees, revitalized Samia cultural heritage through our Cultural Revival and Regeneration Festival in partnership with Design Reparations, and inspired climate awareness through locally grounded programs and workshops. As we continue to grow, we remain dedicated to amplifying local voices, empowering youth, and promoting equality, culture, and human rights — all while nurturing creativity, joy, and collective wellbeing for a more resilient and sustainable world.
With a
rich history spanning over five years, Kenge Content Hive stands as a seasoned
organization in the realm of community-driven initiatives and sustainable
development. Our journey, which began prior to our official registration in
2020 during covid-19 pandemic, has been marked by a wealth of experience and meaningful partnerships.
Over these five years, we have honed our expertise, navigated diverse projects,
and cultivated a deep understanding of the dynamic intersection between
environmental conservation, community empowerment, and sustainable development.
This extensive experience positions us as a reliable and impactful force,
dedicated to creating positive change in the communities we serve along the lake Victoria basin in Busia County in Kenya.
At
Kenge Content Hive, we proudly embody a vibrant and dynamic team of over 40
passionate individuals committed to sustainability. As a youth-led
organization, our team is a mosaic of diverse backgrounds, cultures, classes,
and educational experiences. This richness in diversity is a cornerstone of our
strength, fostering a collaborative and innovative environment. We believe in
the power of inclusivity, where each team member contributes their unique
perspective to the collective goal of promoting environmental consciousness and
sustainable development. United by a shared passion, our team is dedicated to
making a positive impact and fostering a climate-stable world that transcends
boundaries and embraces the strength found in diversity.
OUR PROJECTS
Community Wide Local Climate Action
We believe in the power of collective action to restore balance between people and nature. Coming from a community that has faced deforestation and loss of tree cover due to poverty and historical injustices — including the cutting down of trees in the 1970s to chase away tsetse flies — we are committed to regeneration and renewal.
Our Participation at Dutch Design Week 2024
On the 22nd of October, at BioArt Laboratories in Eindhoven, we successfully held a special session called Design Reparations, represented by our co-founder Ian Francis. The presentation highlighted our commitment with our partners to integrating traditional knowledge with modern design, showcasing how local practices can merge with contemporary approaches to create innovative, climate-resilient solutions.
Community Engagement Workshops
Lasting change begins with informed and inspired communities. We conduct community workshops to share transformative content and raise awareness on sustainable practices, climate education, gender equality, youth leadership, peacebuilding, and mental well-being.
Our Participation at Nairobi Design Week 2025
At Nairobi Design Week 2025, we had the privilege of showcasing our work through an engaging exhibition that celebrated the integration of traditional knowledge and modern design. This platform allowed us to connect with creatives, innovators, and designers from diverse backgrounds, exchanging ideas and exploring synergies. Our participation was marked by exciting new partnerships, including collaborations on two initiatives: the Regeneration Festival and the Cultural Revival Program, both aimed at fostering ecological restoration and cultural heritage preservation.
