Who We Are

Nyakamami Foundation Nyakamami Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to accelerating community empowerment and social protection across Kisumu County. We were established to operationalize and expand upon the transformative development priorities set out in Hon. Ruth Odinga’s 2023–2027 Strategic Plan. Recognizing that public resources alone cannot fully meet the county's needs, we exist to design, fund, and scale targeted empowerment programs that accelerate food security, enterprise development, human capacity, and social protection for women, youth, persons with disabilities (PWDs), the elderly, and children in Kisumu County, thereby bridging the gap for the most vulnerable members of our society.

We envision an empowered, food-secure, enterprising, and socially protected Kisumu County where vulnerable groups can achieve dignity and economic well-being.

At the Nyakamami Foundation, we believe in uplifting communities and empowering individuals. Founded by a dedicated politician, our organization has passionately served the community for over a decade. We showcase impactful projects undertaken and future initiatives aimed at fostering development and change. Join us in our mission to create a positive difference. Together, we can transform lives and build a brighter future.
