Who We Are?
Mum Cheptoo Foundation (MCF) is a registered community-based organization working at the intersection of menstrual health, mental well-being, and women’s empowerment in Kericho County.
We provide menstrual health resources for girls and create safe spaces for boys to be heard, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive without limitations.
Our programs are shaped by listening—to the voices, needs, and realities of the women and girls we serve. We ground our work in evidence, best practices, and lessons learned through implementation. Women’s health and empowerment aren’t charity; they’re human rights we’re committed to upholding.
Our Mission
Our Main Causes
Empowering communities through sustainable programs that transform lives and create lasting change
Breaking barriers, building futures
Empowering Girls Through Dignity
We provide menstrual health resources, education, and support to ensure no girl is held back by her period. Through dignity kits, school programs, and community awareness, we break the silence around menstruation and empower girls to stay in school, pursue their dreams, and live with confidence.
Giving Boys a Voice
We create safe spaces where boys can express themselves, share their experiences, and receive the support they deserve. By listening to their stories and addressing their unique challenges, we help boys develop emotional resilience, healthy relationships, and the confidence to become compassionate leaders in their communities.
Building Healthier Communities
We collaborate with families, schools, and local leaders to foster environments that enable children to thrive. Through community education, mental health awareness, and gender-inclusive programming, we address the root causes of inequality and build stronger, more supportive communities for everyone.
Creating Lasting Change
Our mission goes beyond immediate support—we’re creating sustainable systems that ensure every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential. By partnering with governments, NGOs, and community organizations, we develop programs that deliver lasting impact and transform lives for generations to come.
How we work?
Before we act, we listen. We spend time in communities understanding what girls, boys, families, and teachers need most. This listening shapes everything we do—from the programs we design to the partners we choose.
Armed with insight and evidence, we deliver practical solutions: dignity kits for girls, safe circles for boys, training for teachers, and awareness campaigns for communities. Our interventions are hands-on, immediate, and designed for real-world impact.
Our work doesn’t stop when a program ends. We build capacity within communities, train local leaders, and create systems that continue long after we leave. Sustainability isn’t an afterthought—it’s built into everything we do from day one.
