USADF's Kenya Program:

USADF re- established its Kenya program in 2011 in the northwest Turkana district.

The United States African Development Foundation (USADF) recently signed an agreement with the Government of Kenya to officially launch the 5 year, $10 million Turkana Food Security Program.  Turkana is a region in Northern Kenya known for arid temperatures and scarce food supply.

People living in the Lake Turkana Region of Kenya are some of the most marginalized people on the continent. Many are not formally educated and few have access to jobs.  Projects targeted for initial funding will focus on irrigation, livestock, and fisheries. The investments will help support the production of food and provide produce that can be sold at local markets for income. USADF will be working with a local partner in Turkana to provide assistance to grantees to ensure sustainability of projects. 

USADF works directly with Turkana communities to assess needs, develop business plans, and implement projects created by the Turkana. Funding is goes directly to the grantees to maximize community ownership and long term sustainability.

Please note USADF funds grant projects in the Turkana County of northwest Kenya. USADF does not consider applications from other parts of Kenya.
