Kenya

For more than a quarter century, Winrock has worked resolutely with the people of Kenya. The East African nation has a large and diverse economy with a young, well-educated and passionate workforce, at the ready to make a positive impact in their homeland. Our work in Kenya has been diverse: including, preparing women for leadership positions in the agriculture sector, developing a market for sustainable cookstoves to improve health, reducing child labor, and deploying volunteers to help improve the livelihoods of smallholder poultry farmers. More recently, Winrock worked with Kenyan youth to develop themselves for greater role in national and local reforms and create new entrepreneurial opportunities.
