WHO WE ARE

DKT East Africa Team

DKT International is a global non-profit organization founded in 1989 to focus the power of social marketing on addressing the need for access to family planning and reproductive health. DKT International is now one of the largest private providers of family planning and reproductive health products and services in the developing world, reaching over 50 countries globally.

DKT established operations in Tanzania in 2015, Kenya and Uganda in 2017 to support access to high-quality contraceptives in these territories with expansion to South Sudan in 2021.

Headquartered in Nairobi, the regional program works to expand contraceptive access and increase choice with the introduction of new and popular brands, including Kiss Condoms, Fiesta Condoms, Bull Condoms, Lydia Contraceptives and Kare reproductive health products.

DKT is an innovative and adventurous social marketing enterprise that is actively expanding the contraceptive market, expanding distribution channels and disrupting the traditional way of educating and reaching consumers. DKT is working to create an ecosystem where men, women and young people are empowered with information and have a wide range of contraceptive options to choose from.

DKT cultivates strong relationships with stakeholders, logistics partners, and key distributors where we work to ensure that our products are readily available in a wide range of outlets, including pharmacies, drug shops, kiosks, hospitals, and clinics.
