2. Background & Inspiration

Sebineza Care Organization was founded by Sebineza Paul N, who was deeply moved by the struggles faced by refugee women during pregnancy. His visit to Kenya in 2019 exposed him to the hardships endured by pregnant refugee women, including limited access to healthcare, poor nutrition, and economic instability. In response, he established SCO to provide holistic support to these women, ensuring their health, dignity, and economic empowerment.

The Sebineza Care Organization affirms our commitment to empowering and supporting vulnerable refugee women, particularly pregnant women, through assisted referrals, education, and counseling support. This constitution serves as the guiding framework for our operations, ensuring accountability, transparency, and alignment with our mission.
