About our foundation
Silver Lining Kenya Organization (SLKO) is a community based organization registered in Kenya under the Department of Gender, Children and Social development. It started as an idea and a volunteer program by a group of dedicated students who carried out mentorship programs for kids in schools in August 2015 after the infamous Garissa University Attack and was formally registered in July 2016 as a Community Based Organization in Garissa. The organization is dedicated to alleviating the challenges encountered by pastoral community
As CBO which is at the grass root and aware of the daily challenges of our youth and children face and dangers they are exposed to, we are highly motivated to build partnerships with stakeholders and innovate on new ways to address the societal obstacles women and youth face. We believe children living in the Garissa County are mostly neglected and lack a role model to look up to. .
