About Our Mission

Our Story

Universal Lighthouse was born from a deeply personal journey. After surviving a road accident that resulted in limb loss, our founder experienced the gaps in Kenya's health and development systems for persons with disabilities.

We work to close those gaps by restoring mobility, supporting families, and building communities where every person with a disability can live with dignity, independence, and opportunity.

Our Mission & Vision

Our purpose is rooted in dignity, independence, and opportunity for all.

Our Mission

To champion inclusivity as our guiding light and uplift the vulnerable groups in our society.

Our Vision

A society where every person with a disability can live with dignity, independence, and opportunity.
