Our Story
CRSW was formed in 2018 and legally registered in 2019 as a youth group by the name Termite Empire youth group with the aim of Economic Empowerment. Table banking and saving were key activities that the members use to conduct to support each other with financial capacity. Later it widened its focus after identifying gaps in YGBMSM, YMSW & YPLHIVs programming especially within the Kiambu region. The group was legally registered as a Community Based Organization as Community for resilience support and well-being (CRSW-Kenya).
