The System Changer Network (SCN) Kenya was officially launched in February 2022 through a strategic partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim’s Making More Health (MMH) initiative. From 2019 – 2022, the Core NGO partners worked more project-oriented with changemakers, although the idea of tackling the basic neds of vulnerable communities was always at the core, but they did not connect among each other.
MMH played a foundational role as system coordinator, helping to establish the network’s structure, values, and collaborative model across eight NGOs in Western and Central Kenya. MMH’s role was pivotal in fostering entrepreneurial spirit, building capacity, and enabling systemic change through co-creation with local partners
Our future
As of 2025, MMH has transitioned into a mentoring and advisory role only, empowering SCN Kenya to operate independently under its own brand and governance. The network is now owned and led by its core partners, with MMH supporting as a strategic guide rather than a direct implementer
This shift reflects SCN Kenya’s maturity and commitment to sustainable, community-driven impact, with a focus on scaling innovations, strengthening partnerships, and expanding its reach across regions and even continents. SCN collaborates strongly with the SCN India (founded in 2023).
Empowering Sustainability Through Self-Financing Models
In addition to support the income of vulnerable communities through education offers and microcredits as well as basic business skill training sessions and innovative income generating ideas, we are building self-financing models for our SCN Core centers.
- Olulkulu Guesthouse in Webyue helps cross-finance the GAASPP initiative, ensuring continued support for local programs.
- Silk farming and drying empower Community Health Workers (CHW) to become financially independent.
- At SOLASA, a newly established bakery is helping the NGO move toward self-reliance.
