What We Do
NSDO
We are a Kenyan non-profit organization committed to building prosperous, resilient and self-determining communities.
Agriculture and Food Systems
Food security and sustainable livelihoods for Kenya’s smallholder farmers depend on access to knowledge, markets and technology.
Environment and Climate Action
NSDO builds community capacity to protect natural resources, adapt to climate change and advocate for policies that reflect their lived experience.
Education and Skills Development
NSDO works to ensure children stay in school, that learning quality improves and that communities are active, empowered participants in education governance
Governance and Civic Accountability
NSDO invests in civic education, public participation and social accountability — not as abstract concepts, but as practical tools communities can use to demand better services, better governance and better futures.
Youth Empowerment and Enterprise
NSDO invests in young people through structured skills programmes, enterprise incubation and mentorship.
Livelihoods and Economic Empowerment
Our livelihoods work builds the economic foundations for lasting household security.
Health and Public Health Systems
