For more than 20 years, KEDHAP Foundation has faithfully served vulnerable communities in western Kenya through HIV/AIDS care, education, girls’ empowerment, and community development. Thousands of lives have been transformed because of the generosity of faithful supporters.

Today, KEDHAP is taking an exciting next step.

We are pleased to launch the KEDHAP Social Enterprises Campaign—a long-term initiative that will create sustainable livelihoods for vulnerable families while strengthening KEDHAP’s ability to serve its communities for years to come.

For years, KEDHAP has walked alongside vulnerable families. This new campaign builds on that trusted foundation.

Moving Beyond Aid

As international HIV/AIDS funding continues to decline, community organizations across Kenya are facing growing financial pressure. While medication remains available, many families still struggle with the costs of transportation, nutritious food, counselling, and maintaining a stable income.

KEDHAP believes the answer lies not only in meeting today’s needs but also in creating opportunities that help families build a more secure future.

Through a series of locally managed social enterprises, KEDHAP will create employment, equip people with practical skills, and generate income to reinvest in its life-changing programs. This is about building dignity, resilience, and long-term sustainability.

The Social Enterprises Campaign is designed to create opportunities for the very communities KEDHAP already serves.
Future enterprises will equip participants with practical skills that lead to long-term economic independence.

The First Step: Community Beekeeping

The first enterprise under the KEDHAP Social Enterprises Campaign is the establishment of a 100-hive community apiary. This initiative will create sustainable employment while generating income for both participating families and KEDHAP’s ministry.

Projected Impact

  • 🐝 100 beehives established in a community apiary.
  • 👥 30 people living with HIV/AIDS, women, and other vulnerable community members trained and employed.
  • 💰 KES 10,000 (approximately CAD $110) in additional monthly income for each participant.
  • 🍯 More than 1,500 kg of honey produced annually for local markets.
  • ❤️ $8,000–$10,000 in annual revenue generated for KEDHAP’s ministry after the first year.
  • 🌱 Increased household income, improved food security, and better access to healthcare and education for participating families.

This is just the beginning. As the campaign grows, KEDHAP plans to launch additional social enterprises that will expand employment opportunities and strengthen the long-term sustainability of its ministry.

The proposed beekeeping enterprise is the first step toward a sustainable future.

Tatiana's Story

From a very young age, Tatiana had a heart for serving children. After a short trip to help at an orphanage in Haiti in 2014, she was ready to go all in to serve the less fortunate children of the world. Tatiana was the driving force behind the family moving to Peru, and she loved the children of Peru.

In the summer of 2018, Tatiana Blackburn died tragically in a car accident. To honour her memory, the Blackburns started a fund called Tat’s Kids Peru. This fund was designated for the children at Tat’s Place to support the ongoing operation of the home.
