About Us
A community-driven organization dedicated to transforming lives in Gitite Village.
Our Story
Alfred Waithaka grew up in Gitite Village, North Kinangop. Every day, he walked 10 kilometres barefoot to school, a journey that shaped his determination and resilience. That experience planted a seed — a dream that one day, children in Gitite would have access to quality education right in their community.
Years later, Alfred returned to Gitite with a vision: to build a community library that would serve as a gateway to knowledge, digital literacy, and empowerment for over 250 pupils and the wider community.
What began as one man’s dream became a community movement. Through Harambee — the Kenyan tradition of pulling together — neighbours, friends, and supporters joined hands to lay the foundation for the Gitite Community Library and the broader CBO.
“From barefoot walks to building bridges — this is the power of community.”
