About us
Who we are
Dignity Africa is a local non-governmental organization founded on January 14, 2025, by a dedicated team of five small-scale farmers from Kaliwa, Busia County, Kenya.
Busia County is among the poorest regions in Kenya, with 83% of its population facing economic hardships, according to the 2021-2022 Kenya News Agency report. Despite government efforts to allocate resources for development, the county still grapples with widespread poverty. Many children drop out of school or never attend, residents rely on river water shared with animals, and youth often turn to harmful activities due to a lack of opportunities. Additionally, poor infrastructure and inadequate social amenities continue to hinder progress.
Witnessing these challenges firsthand, we came together as five committed individuals to establish Dignity Africa. Our mission is to combat poverty by actively engaging youth, small-scale farmers, and other stakeholders, including the national and county governments, as well as partners of goodwill. Through collective action, we strive to create sustainable solutions that uplift our community and foster long-term development.
