About Our Organization

About Us

MAAYGO (Mission for Advocacy and Advisory for Young Generation Organization) is a grassroots-driven, non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Kisumu, Kenya. We advocate for the health, rights, and dignity of Gender and Sexual Diverse Minority (GSDM) communities—including gay, bisexual, transgender, and other marginalized identities—across Western Kenya and beyond.

Founded in 2008 as a youth initiative (Men Against AIDS Youth Group), MAAYGO officially became an NGO in 2016. Since then, we’ve grown into a regional leader in inclusive health service delivery, human rights advocacy, mental health support, and socio-economic empowerment.

  • Equity & Inclusion – We believe everyone deserves access to health, rights, and opportunity.
