The Health and Economic Development Strategy Organization was registered in August 2021. HEDSO was formed with the main aim of amplifying the voices and addressing the unique challenges faced by adolescent girls, young women, and youths in the rural communities in the lake Victoria beaches and sugar belt areas in western part of Kenya counties. HEDSO recognizes that these groups often encounter significant barriers to achieving their full potential, both in terms of their health and economic empowerment. By focusing on improving their health and wellbeing while simultaneously fostering economic empowerment, HEDSO aims to create a more equitable and inclusive society free from social injustices.

HEDSO is committed to advancing gender equality and social

society, where every individual has the chance to thrive.
HEDSO drives effective governance in Kisumu County through
citizen engagement and awareness. We encourage public
participation, educating residents about their oversight role
in monitoring government activities. This enhances social
accountability and fosters collaboration among citizens,
officials, and stakeholders. Our approach empowers individuals
with information to assess government performance, advancing
transparent and accountable governance for the community's
benefit.
Through media advocacy, we harness the power of information
sharing to shed light on pressing issues in the marginalized
communities. We collaborate with local media outlets to raise
awareness about marginalized communities, their challenges,
and spark discussions on how to mitigate them.
Our approach to community development is rooted in the belief that local solutions drive sustainable change. We engage deeply with the community to understand their unique challenges, aspirations, and cultural contexts. By involving local leaders, elders, and community members, we co-create programs that directly address the needs of these communities.
Advocacy lies at the heart of our programs. We actively engage with local communities, government bodies, and relevant stakeholders to champion the rights and needs of marginalized communities. By bringing attention to crucial issues and collaborating with decision-makers, we work towards policies that address the unique challenges faced by these communities. Through strategic communication, awareness campaigns, and public discourse, we amplify voices that might otherwise go unheard, fostering an environment of positive change.
Peace and Conflict Resolution is a cornerstone of our organization’s mission. We are dedicated to fostering peace and resolving conflicts within communities through dialogue, education, and mediation. By working closely with local leaders, civil society groups, and conflict-affected populations, we aim to address the root causes of conflict and promote reconciliation. Our initiatives are designed to build trust, encourage mutual understanding, and prevent the escalation of tensions. Through workshops, community forums, and collaborative problem-solving, we empower individuals and communities to resolve disputes peacefully, contributing to a more stable and harmonious society.
