ABOUT US
Greatness achieved through community empowerment
Borotet Community Initiative is a non-profit, community-based organisation in Mogotio Constituency, Baringo County, Kenya, transforming lives through socio-economic empowerment, rehabilitation and capacity building.
OUR STORY
Rooted in the community since 2019
Borotet Community Initiative (BCI) was founded in 2019 by Rev. Dr Nancy Kosgei as a vehicle for development through partnerships. We work alongside religious leaders, local leaders, government agencies, community spokespeople, Nyumba Kumi teams, and women and youth leaders on programmes designed from a needs analysis of the community.
Alcohol and drug abuse has fuelled violence against women and girls, ill health, insecurity and high school drop-out rates. Through rehabilitation and recovery programmes, many people have reformed, bringing positive change and peaceful coexistence to families and the wider community.
