About Us

At Proactive Life Initiative (PLI), we are a national non-governmental organization working with vulnerable communities in rural areas and urban informal settlements across Kenya, including Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Homa Bay, and Siaya Counties. We partner with communities, government institutions, civil society, development partners, and the private sector to address the root causes of poverty, inequality, vulnerability, and social exclusion.
