Founder & CEO

Bjorn Kvakland

Engineer and field-based problem-solver — not a stereotypical businessman.

Bjorn first came to Kenya in 2021, primarily to work on waste management — the waste pickers of Nairobi and the city's pollution challenges. That long-term work continues.

The rollator project began about two years ago. It was temporarily prioritised because it could help people sooner — outdoor mobility is a daily, tangible improvement in someone's life.

Waste management remains the long-term project. Mobility is what BHK Solutions Kenya can serve most directly today.

"As the founder, I recognised something that local suppliers and procurement systems had largely overlooked. Coming from Norway, where more than 127,000 rollators have been supplied through the national assistive technology system, I knew that outdoor rollators are a standard mobility solution for people who can still walk with support.

When I looked at Kenya, I found that this entire category was virtually absent despite a clear need. That led us to validate the opportunity through collaboration with APDK, pilot testing, and direct engagement with rehabilitation professionals.

Our insight is not simply that rollators are missing, but that an established and proven mobility solution has never been meaningfully introduced or integrated into East Africa's rehabilitation ecosystem."
