About Us

We are a non-profit organization committed to building climate-resilient communities and advancing sustainable development across Kenya’s Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs).
Through innovative, community-led approaches, we empower vulnerable populations to adapt to the impacts of climate change, enhance their livelihoods, and protect their natural resources. 

Our work focuses on strengthening local capacities, promoting climate-smart agriculture, improving access to clean water, and fostering inclusive development that leaves no one behind. Guided by sustainability, equity, and resilience, we envision a future where communities in Kenya’s ASAL regions thrive in harmony with their environment.
