East Africa

Practical Action's work is spread across four clusters in the northern, central, and southwest parts of Kenya. These are: Somali and Karamoja clusters in the north, the Lake Victoria cluster in the south west of the country and the Nairobi-Nakuru cluster in central Kenya.

Our work

The work carried out by Practical Action regional office in Kenya is centred on three themes:

  • Reducing vulnerability
    To strengthen the ability of poor women and men to use technology to cope with threats to their livelihoods from natural disasters, environmental degradation and civil conflict.
  • Making markets work for poor people
    To enable poor women and men to use technologies effectively in systems of production, processing and marketing to build secure livelihoods.
  • Improving access to infrastructure services
    To improve the access of poor women and men to locally managed infrastructure services.

The Eastern Africa office is managed by the Eastern Africa Regional Director, Grace Mukasa.

    I am Kenyan and I am proud of my country but disgusted by the amount of poverty. Practical Action inspires me and I am currently trying to organise a fundraiser at my school of 1000 pupils to support the brilliant work you are doing. Thank you so much

    Greatly touch by the work you do for the less fortunate in society especially the Wash programmes in Slums. This is the way to make a productive and a waterborne free society.
