ELPA community development in Western Kenya
About ELPA

A Kenyan NGO Committed to Lasting Community Change

Elevate Livelihoods, Peace and Advocacy (ELPA) is a Kenyan registered Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) under the NGOs Coordination Board, with Registration No. OP.218/051/18-075/11451. Since its inception in 2019, ELPA has lived its overarching mission of fostering sustainable peace and development through promoting community driven initiatives in livelihoods, peacebuilding and equitable health advocacy.

Our programs are designed to empower marginalised community members, particularly youth, women and girls across the Greater Western Region of Kenya, enabling them to actively participate in building sustainable and resilient society. Our organization's roots can be traced back to our predecessor, Elgon Sisters Community Based Organization (CBO) which has operations in Mt. Elgon Subcounty, Bungoma County.
