Our Priority

Since its creation in 2019, the Fund has strengthened the capacities of 11 organizations and delivered USD 60,000 in grants to 11 projects in Western Kenya. To maintain the highest standards of quality and impact, the Fund constantly learns from past experiences while looking ahead and exploring new ways of working.
