Working with our community projects across Kenya, we know how tough it can be to involve everyone in our activities. We sometimes face limitations, lack of adequate resources, selection criteria that restrict who can join, or personal challenges faced by the individuals. Despite these challenges, we at 3E Africa always strive to ensure all groups are included, women, men, youth, and people living with a disability.
In the world of development work, it’s a common to see non-governmental organizations (NGOs) implementing projects. They build schools, dig boreholes, and run sustainable Agriculture training programs. But what happens when the funding ends and the NGO moves on? Too often, the projects end with them. This is the challenge that 3E organization addresses by forging powerful partnerships with government and County institutions, ensuring their work isn’t just a temporary fix but a permanent fixture in the communities they serve.
In rural Kenya, a quiet revolution is taking place, led by the very people often left behind, the youth. As the generation with the most to lose from global issues, their long-term vision, energy, and adaptability are proving to be the most powerful catalysts for sustainable change. At 3E Africa, we’ve learned firsthand that empowering young people is not just a part of our work, it’s the key to achieving a lasting impact.

In the drought-ridden lands of Marigat sub-county, Baringo South, where rainfall is minimal and agricultural options are limited, access to nutritious food has been a persistent challenge. For generations, communities have largely relied on purchasing foods, especially outside the brief rainy season, leading to low nutrition and significant financial strain.
Kenya’s rural communities are the backbone of its economy, with agriculture driving GDP and employing a large portion of the population. Historically, they have been the primary source of food for urban areas and a key contributor to exports, solidifying the rural sector as Kenya’s agricultural hub.
Our planet has sustained humanity since the beginning, and our ancestors learned to care for it. However, increasing population exerts immense pressure daily. Deforestation for farming and settlement, along with river pollution from sewage and plastic, severely impacts our beautiful planet. We must ask: will our planet withstand this pressure?
The recently concluded second Eastern Africa Agroecology Conference was an experience of inspiration, innovation, and collaborative spirit.

Rural communities, the heart of many nations, are vital sources of food, resources, and cultural heritage. Yet, they often face significant challenges: poverty, limited education access, and inadequate infrastructure.

Empowering women is not just about gender equality, it’s the cornerstone of thriving communities.
