What will you be doing?

Team Kenya is a small, highly effective and ambitious CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) founded in 2008 to support development in the Ndhiwa community in Western Kenya. Team Kenya works in partnership with a Kenyan NGO, Twende Pamoja, to educate girls, empower women and transform communities in this rural area through sustainable, evidence-based programming that puts individuals at the centre of solutions. Through extensive consultations with our implementation partner in Kenya, we are now working rapidly and deliberately towards a transfer of leadership, decision-making, autonomy and ultimately income generation to Twende Pamoja in 2023 and beyond. Our goal is to work with Twende Pamoja to build capacity and independence and to ensure local ownership and leadership of sustainable strategies. This will help dismantle the structures that perpetuate poverty, including inequality, marginalisation, and injustice. We know the people who can best “solve” deeply-rooted social, political, and economic problems are the people whose lives are most affected by them.
