Who We Are

Partnering to build a world where everyone has an equal opportunity..

Jenga means ‘build’. JeViVo focuses on improving people’s lives in the community especially the vulnerable as well as linking them with other players to address the challenges they face.

JeViVo is a registered organization in both Kenya and Switzerland and is mainly concerned with the well-being of orphans and vulnerable children, mistreated women, widows, widowers, men, women, people with disability, and youths who are disadvantaged due to their economic, and social and cultural background.

We also engage in activities of environmental conservation such as planting trees, permaculture, and soil erosion prevention. The area faces various challenges, but many of them can be prevented at the village level. As the community becomes more and more developed, people will be exposed to less health, poverty, and illiteracy risks and enjoy a higher standard of living and, therefore higher quality of life.

Our Approach

Our Story

In 2018, Dominic and local youths from Shikumu Village, Kenya, initiated community volunteering to combat poverty and foster peace. Switzerland natives Elena and Jasmin joined, witnessing significant health challenges, which led them to fundraise for vulnerable groups, including orphans and children with disabilities.

After a volunteer exchange program in Germany in 2019, Dominic returned with insights into sustainable development. He collaborated with Elena and established a community center in Shikumu Village, incorporating daycare and meeting spaces to support local initiatives.

The project prioritizes conservation practices, agroforestry, and sustainable agriculture to enhance food security and environmental resilience. By promoting reforestation, organic farming, and soil conservation, they empower the community to adopt self-sufficient and eco-friendly livelihoods.

Registered locally and in Switzerland, the initiative fosters community ownership and long-term impact. Dominic, Elena, and their team aim to create lasting positive change in Shikumu Village and beyond through local engagement and knowledge exchange.
