Restoring Dignity to Every Soul
Our MottoBorn in the community, built for the community
WECY began in 2016 when community members in Kenya came together to support children with disabilities and their families — people too often excluded from health, education and opportunity.
For years we built partnerships, designed programmes and mobilised the community. In 2024 WECY began full operations — delivering inclusive health and affordable therapy, education and skills, economic empowerment, disability-inclusive climate action, and advocacy.
Today we are a community-led team serving women, children, youth and persons with disabilities across the communities we call home.
