HEDSO

Health and Economic Development Strategy Organization was established in February 2017
as a small youth group in Muhoroni Sub-County, driven by a simple yet powerful vision: to
break the cycle of injustice and poverty holding back underserved most vulnerable adolescent
girls, young women especially teenage mothers, young widows and youth. What started as a
grassroots effort soon grew into a movement. By August 2021, HEDSO transitioned into a
community-based organization, amplifying its reach and impact. This expansion allows us to
serve even more communities in Western Kenya, particularly in the rural Lake Victoria fishing
communities, sugar belt areas and slums, where young women and girls face systemic barriers
to health and economic empowerment.
