Kenya

Kenya Community Development Foundation (KCDF) is a public charitable foundation founded in 1997 that supports sustainable community-driven development in Kenya. KCDF believes complete and lasting change is possible when communities initiate and drive their development agenda with little external support.

KCDF works to enhance community growth and sustainability through capacity development, community philanthropy, and local giving. We invest significant resources to build, strengthen, and sustain the core capacities of our communities by developing thoughtful, long-term collaborations with other actors including governments, non-profit organizations, the private sector, and individuals to advance social justice.

AKDN has worked in Kenya for over a century, beginning with education and health programmes. We improve the quality of life for Kenyan communities through meeting basic needs, sharing knowledge and providing opportunities for growth. We signed an Agreement of Cooperation for Development with the Kenyan Government in 1996, creating an enabling framework for our activities.
