Who We Are
Our Mission
KANDU is an Indigenous-led non-profit serving vulnerable people in West Kelowna and the Kelowna area. Our mission is to save lives and create cultural safety through compassionate, peer-led support rooted in lived experience, culture, and harm reduction.
We meet people where they are on their healing journey while working to reduce stigma and build meaningful relationships. Through outreach, cultural teachings, workshops, and land-based healing programs, we support people of all nations and cultures in their journey toward healing and well-being.
Our History
Kandu was founded in 2019 by a group of community members who recognized the need for a local organization dedicated to helping the vulnerable individuals in the Okanagan region. Since then, we have grown into a thriving nonprofit, serving hundreds of individuals each year.

Our collaborators include the Central Okanagan Food Bank, Salvation Army, Starbucks, Interior Health,First Nations Health Authority, PAN, Dr. Peter Centre, University of Victoria, West Coast LEAF and multiple peer lead groups across BC
