About Entepesi Kenya

Named for the acacia — resilient, healing, rooted in its land.

“Entepesi” is the Maasai word for the acacia tree, valued for its strength and medicinal properties. Entepesi Kenya was founded after three of our four founders witnessed critical gaps in healthcare during a local medical camp — and decided to close them.

Officially registered on 29 March 2021, we deliver holistic, people-first interventions through strong collaboration with the Ministry of Health and grassroots networks, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

  • Women-led & community-centered
  • Partnering with the Ministry of Health
  • Aligned with the UN SDGs
