The original convenors of the association set out objectives which initially focussed on immediate needs such as joint savings for unseen emergencies or social/family needs.  The association, however, expanded very quickly with the enrolment of more members.  With sustained contributions and good management of the association’s savings, members reviewed the status of their association and a decision was made in 2003 to register the association with the government of Kenya as a formal welfare society.  The process took a little longer than expected and registration was finally achieved in July 2007.

Due to changing needs of society and the dynamics of social needs of any community, KISUNYA reviewed its objectives and expanded them from immediate needs of its core members to focus on other social needs of the communities from which the members come.  In this perspective the association started participating in activities outside its initial objectives.  These included fundraising school fees for needy children and contributing to projects initiated by the community such as schools and micro enterprises managed by women’s groups.

In recent years, however, members of KISUNYA have shifted their focus from being mere contributors to fundraising functions.  They have surveyed and identified major sectors where they can play major roles in providing base funds to initiate and manage meaningful projects that bring specific benefits to their communities in their respective sub-locations.  In this regard and in line with their enhanced objectives as enshrined in the associations constitution (duly registered with the government of Kenya) members have identified three sectors where the communities are in dire need of facilities to provide for their social needs.  These sectors are education, primary/public healthcare and girl child empowerment.
