Building skills, creating opportunities, fostering self-reliance.

Community Development & Livelihoods

Expanding economic opportunities, building practical skills, and fostering self-reliance — with a focus on women, youth, and underserved groups.

Our Approach

Many of Kenya's most capable and hard-working people simply lack access to the opportunities, skills, and networks they need to thrive. That's what we work to change.

We support community-led initiatives that expand economic opportunities, build practical skills, and foster self-reliance — with a particular focus on women, youth, and other underserved groups. From vocational training and savings groups to alternative livelihood programmes, our work helps people build futures they can sustain themselves.
