Our Story

Started by neighbours, not an office

Anne Okelo began this work in central Karachuonyo in the mid-2000s, long before SIC had a name or a registration certificate. Sixteen years of showing up is what earned SIC the trust to formally register as a CBO in 2021, in partnership with Ubuntu International.
