Charity organisation
oundation on March 26th 2017
The association was founded in spring 2017 by the initiative of the two CEOs Barbara Becht, and Gregory Kasenge. Gregory Kasenge comes from Mwandogo - Kenya, but has lived in Cologne with his wife and two children for years. Barbara Becht, Mother of three adult children, lives in the northern part of Düsseldorf, where the association's headquarters can also be found. Together they were able to inspire other people from their surroundings for their project idea. In March 2017, nine founding members founded the Chanzo Kenya non-profit organisation, which was represented in the first 2 years by four board members - Barbara Becht, Gregory Kasenge, Katharina Aust and Martin Baum. Franz-Josef Kaul has joined in 2018, Beate Dahmen and Waltraud Stephan in 2019 and therefore there are now five members on the board. In addition, the board work is supported by the advisory board member Christiane Thiée.
