Start where you are
Choose what you came to do.
Public routes are short on purpose. A request should reach the right team without making you learn the organisation first.
Where options are available, we explain them clearly and support you to decide what feels right and realistic for your life.Get supportReconnect

A home became a response. The response became an organisation.
Kenneth & Jacob's House was founded in 2020 in response to the housing and safety challenges facing gender-diverse and sexual minority young people in Kenya. What began by opening a home to people in crisis grew into a structured shelter and support initiative.
We listen to what is happening, what feels unsafe and what kind of support you are hoping for.
Explore how support works →Depending on your situation, available support and what feels appropriate, this may include shelter, wellbeing support, practical assistance or referral to another trusted service.
Provide safer shelter, psychosocial support, practical pathways and community connection while protecting dignity, consent and agency.
A society where safety and belonging are not conditional.
Gender-diverse and sexual minority young adults can live with dignity, equality and meaningful access to their rights and opportunities.
Support for safety, wellbeing and what comes next.
Four connected parts of one support journey.
People do not have to fit neatly into a programme. The route depends on the situation, available support and what the person wants to work on.
01
Safer shelter
Temporary accommodation, structured support and planning toward a more stable next step.
Transitional housing → Wellbeing & Psychosocial SupportWellbeing

How support can connect
The next step changes as the situation changes.
There is no single sequence everyone must follow. This is a picture of how different parts of KENJAC can connect when they are relevant.
Contact, referral or another public route.
Safety, housing, wellbeing and what matters now.
Direct support, practical planning or referral.
Community, follow-up and longer-term pathways.
How we try to work
Support should add options, not take control away.
Safeguarding is not only a policy. It is visible in how information is handled, how choices are explained and how concerns can be raised.
Dignity
People are not case numbers or public stories.
Choice
Options and consequences should be explained clearly wherever possible.
Privacy
Sensitive information should have a legitimate purpose and controlled access.
Accountability
There are public routes for feedback, complaints and safeguarding concerns.
Partnerships
No organisation does this work alone.
Rights, community, technology and other partners can widen the choices available to people connected with KENJAC.
Stories & learning
What KENJAC is doing, noticing and sharing.
Stories will appear here as they are published.
Public storytelling should protect consent and privacy while still showing the work clearly.
