MACODEP is a medical clinic and children's home located in Nairobi, Kenya that serves the residents of one of the largest slums in East Africa: Kibera. Kibera is home to over one million people who have little access to clean water, sanitation, healthcare, and other basic services. MACODEP seeks to address these needs.
The main goals of MACODEP are to offer health care and other related services to the less fortunate members of society. The organization focuses on improving the capacity of disadvantaged members of the Kibera slums via the provision of health care services, HIV/Aids intervention, environmental sanitation, and above all, economic empowerment.
Current MACODEP programs include a health clinic, a laboratory for testing services, a home-based HIV/Aids care program, a home for orphaned children, and a football club for local teens.
Andrew Otieno, a Kenyan born and raised in Kibera slums, founded MACODEP in 1999. He continues to direct the organization's programs today with the help of the its board and support from donors all over the world.
