The Kuria Foundation for Social Enterprise (KFSE) was established in 2012 to address the challenges faced by Kenyan sexual and gender minorities (SGMs).

Other challenges include widespread discrimination in access to employment, education, housing, health care, financing and other services. As a result, SGMs have a much higher risk of mental distress, mental health problems, suicidality, and lower social well-being when compared to their non-SGM counterparts.
