WHO WE ARE
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 100 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 and Zambia in 2025.
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.
VISION AND MISSION

Mission
DKT Provides couples with affordable and safe options for family planning, safe abortion, and HIV/AIDS prevention through dynamic social marketing
WHERE WE ARE
DKT has over 25 offices staffed by mission-driven teams, with more than 4,000 employees working to expand access to reproductive healthcare in over 100 countries.
Originally, DKT operated stand-alone programs in individual countries, covering the full costs of establishing and maintaining infrastructure. In 2015, the organization adopted a regional model, similar to that used by multinational companies, starting with a program in Francophone West Africa. This approach reduces costs, streamlines back-office support, and leverages shared language, culture, and regulatory environments.
The model has enabled DKT to rapidly expand access to reproductive health products in smaller and underserved markets across Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, and Asia.
In East Africa, DKT established operations in Tanzania in 2015, followed by Kenya and Uganda in 2017. The regional program later expanded to South Sudan in 2021 and Zambia in 2025.
