"Since starting operations in Kenya in 1982, Habitat for Humanity has worked in 46 of the country’s 47 counties, both directly and through partners, enabling more than 3 million people to access decent housing, along with water, sanitation and hygiene services." - Kenya Capacity Overview

"Kenya has an annual housing demand of 250,000 units with an estimated supply of 50,000 units, culminating in a housing deficit of 2 million units, or 80% deficit. Housing affordability is a key challenge in Kenya with many people unable to afford to buy or build their own home. Only 2% of the formally constructed houses target lower-income families." - Habitat.org/where-we-build/kenya
