SOCIAL IMPACT & INNOVATION

Kenan promotes inclusive and innovative development by focusing on the key areas of strengthening civic engagement, improving community health and well-being, and advancing sustainable livelihoods. Our main aim is to foster active civic participation and empower individuals within communities, in order to create opportunities for sustainable and resilience growth and progress across all segments of society.

Our current focus .

Civic Engagement & Active Citizenship

Strengthen individuals and organizations that work on social advocacy and peacebuilding, such as local CSOs and civic leaders. Promote active citizenship among youth and women—both locally and regionally—by empowering them to participate meaningfully in society, through developing strong leadership skills, and engage in community-led initiatives that drive positive social change.

Public Health & Wellbeing

Strengthen community health systems by building the capacity of community health volunteers (CHVs) and medical personnel, especially in underserved areas. Our programs also aim at empowering youth—particularly adolescent girls—and women, including factory workers and migrants, with knowledge and access to sexual and reproductive health, mental wellness, and nutrition services.

Sustainable Livelihoods

Promote sustainable livelihoods by equipping local communities with entrepreneurship skills and promoting financial independence. Our programs focus on fostering innovation developed by local enterprises with the aim of reducing local communities’ reliance on external aid by empowering them with essential knowledge and skills to achieve sustainable financial independence, and for them to be able to withstand economic and environmental challenges thus, ensuring long-term socio-economic and environmental resilience.
