"Entrepreneurs are solving Kenya’s most pressing problems, from lack of access to lighting to a need for safe, affordable sanitation. Gobee created “Social Enterprise Stories from Urban Kenya” – a photography project with a coffee table book as its centerpiece – as an ode to the difficult work of making change outside the normal channels of government and the typical development agencies."

Last week, The Guardian's Social Enterprise Network shared a gallery of social enterprise stories from Kenya captured by Gobee Group, an organization innovating "at the intersection of technology and social impact." In July 2012, photographer Flynn Warren traveled to Nairobi seeking to document the most creative, innovative, and socially-minded organizations. The end product, a book titled "Social Enterprise Stories from Urban Kenya," is the first in what Gobee hopes will be a series. They seek to "tell the story of social entrepreneurship in action through multiple, interactive media, beyond photography and print, and beyond Kenya." One of these stories is SEAD Innovator Jacaranda Health.

Jacardanda Health works to provide quality, affordable health care in low-resource settings, ensuring that every Kenyan mother has access to the care they need for a safe and healthy delivery. Their innovative mobile services allow clients to prepay towards costs, and their clinics provide quality services at one-fifth the cost of other private hospitals.

 Says Gobee, "[we] sought the four most innovative, social-minded organizations across all sectors in Kenya and instead found the biggest game changers anywhere in the world."
