Education
Education is the greatest equalizer. It gives children from underprivileged backgrounds a fighting chance in life. For children from Kenya’s arid and semi-arid lands, we make education accessible through infrastructure, materials, and scholarships.
Sustainable Livelihoods
Livelihoods are the capabilities, assets, and activities required for a means of living. Our programs build community capacity to cope with stresses, recover from shocks, and enhance economic resilience.
Peace & Governance
We promote inter-communal harmony in northern Kenya through platforms like sports and cultural events, fostering peace and community participation in governance processes.

JUHUDI collaborates with communities to mitigate drought and disaster impacts, protecting lives, livelihoods, and community assets through climate adaptation and eco-friendly initiatives.
Governance
Led by a 7-member Board of Directors (4 men, 3 women), JUHUDI ensures effective mission fulfillment, steering the organization toward a sustainable future.
Disability Mainstreaming
We break down attitudinal and stereotypical barriers for persons with disabilities in ASALs, enhancing participation and access to services in line with the Persons With Disabilities Act (2003).
Water, Sanitation & Hygiene
In Kenya’s arid northern regions, we provide sustainable solutions for clean water and sanitation, reducing reliance on scarce rainwater and shallow wells.

Confronting global challenges requires innovation and collaboration. Our work in ASALs is grounded in research, data, and new thinking to deliver humanitarian and sustainable development.
