BLEC

Building Livelihoods & Empowering Communities (BLEC) was born in Turkana, Kenya, one of the most climate-vulnerable regions in the world. Founded in 2017 as a community-based organization, BLEC emerged from the urgent need to address chronic hunger, poverty, and social exclusion that women and youth face daily. In July 2025, BLEC transitioned into a registered NGO, strengthening its mandate to scale up impact across Turkana and beyond.
