About Goblis Foundation

A Kenyan foundation organising accountable pathways for social entrepreneurship and rural development.

Goblis Foundation is registered in Kenya as a Company Limited by Guarantee. We work with people, communities and institutions to reduce fragmentation between a real need or opportunity and a responsible, evidence-backed outcome.

Mission

To advance social entrepreneurship and rural development by connecting people, ideas, institutions and opportunities that create lasting social and economic impact.

Vision

Thriving communities creating sustainable solutions to their own social and economic challenges.

How we organise the work

Identify

A person, venture, community or opportunity enters through a clear route.

Connect

We clarify fit, readiness, actors and the next responsible institution.

Support

We coordinate what Goblis itself is responsible for.

Partner

Specialists deliver the services, regulation, learning or implementation they own.

Measure

We follow agreed evidence and outcomes without overstating attribution.

What Goblis is responsible for

• Programme entry, fit and relationship management.
• Partner coordination and role clarity.
• Consent, evidence continuity and agreed outcome follow-up.
• Institutional governance, donor assurance and responsible public claims.

What Goblis does not pretend to own

• Specialist learning, credentials or assessments owned by another institution.
• Technical or regulatory decisions reserved to competent specialists and authorities.
• Outcomes that cannot be evidenced or reasonably attributed.
• A direct capital-disbursement or public fundraising programme as the defining programme model.

Impact & evidence

See what progress means and how it is verified.

We distinguish activities, outputs, outcomes and independently evidenced impact. This keeps our two programme journeys transparent without claiming achievements that have not yet been verified.
