Activate Action is a youth-led for impact organization working in Homa Bay, Kenya, dedicated to empowering young people and women to lead healthier, independent, and impactful lives. We focus especially on youth living with HIV and disabilities, who often face stigma, discrimination, and limited opportunities.

Through integrated services in health, mental health, HIV prevention, leadership development, and economic empowerment, we equip young people with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to thrive.

Our programs are youth-centered, peer-led, and inclusive, ensuring that every participant feels valued, heard, and empowered. By keeping youth at the heart of program design and delivery, and co-creating solutions with communities, we ensure that every intervention is relevant, evidence-informed, and impactful.

Founded in 2017 as a youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health center and officially registered as a Community-Based Organization (CBO) in 2020 (CBO/HUD/HB/0098/2020), Activate Action has grown into a force for positive change, building inclusive spaces where young people can access healthcare, develop leadership skills, pursue economic opportunities, and overcome barriers of stigma and discrimination. Thousands of young people have benefited from our programs, showing measurable improvements in health knowledge, school retention, and leadership participation.

Our Promise
At Activate Action, we don’t see youth and women as recipients of charity; we see them as worthy investments in the future. By empowering them through peer-led, inclusive, and holistic programs, we strengthen communities, reduce stigma, and create lasting social change, ensuring that every young person and woman has the opportunity to realize their full potential and lead meaningful lives.
