Empowering Communities, Building Peace

Promoting peace, economic growth, and climate resilience in Turkana and refugee communities through innovative programs in entrepreneurship, mentorship, environmental conservation, and conflict resolution.

Peace Building

Organizing peace talks, conferences, and community meetings in partnership with peace and security committees to foster understanding, peaceful coexistence, and effective resource utilization between Turkana communities and refugees. Collaborating with stakeholders to strengthen community resilience and promote long-lasting harmony.

Economic Empowerment

Supporting entrepreneurship and financial literacy initiatives to empower individuals and small-scale businesses in the target communities. Through training, advisory services, and mentorship, we equip beneficiaries with the skills and knowledge to grow their businesses. Additionally, we help connect entrepreneurs with financial institutions to access savings and loans, fostering long-term economic stability and growth within the community.

Environmental Conservation & Smart Agriculture

Promoting environmental conservation through natural regeneration, afforestation, and sustainable farming techniques. Supporting the community with climate-resilient agriculture, such as drought-resistant crops and modern technologies like drip irrigation and multi-storey gardening, to ensure food security and contribute to Kenya’s climate goals.

Youth Mentorship

Facilitating mentorship programs and life skills workshops for youth and students to promote their personal growth, health, and well-being. These programs include parent-youth involvement, peer engagement, and health education, all aimed at empowering young people to overcome challenges and become active, resilient members of the community. We strive to provide the tools and guidance needed for them to lead positive and productive lives.
