Renewal Africa Foundation
Transforming communities and restoring the environment across Kenya through sustainable water, health, clean energy, and dignified support for the most vulnerable.

Our approach
Community participation, connected programmes and accountable action.

Our mission, in one sentence
We exist to restore hope and dignity by transforming communities through sustainable access to clean water, health, clean energy, environmental restoration, climate-smart livelihoods, and inclusive protection for the most vulnerable.

A Kenyan foundation working alongside communities to restore land and water, build resilient livelihoods, and protect the people most often left behind.
A renewed Africa, rooted in resilient communities.
We believe environmental restoration and human dignity are inseparable. Renewal Africa Foundation exists because the health of the land and the health of a community rise and fall together — you cannot restore one without the other.
We work where need is greatest: with smallholder farmers, women, youth, and refugees; with prisoners and ex-convicts rebuilding their lives; with the elderly, persons with disabilities, and the homeless — treating each as a partner in renewal, not a recipient of charity.
Integrated, community-led, built to last.
We enhance the well-being of marginalized communities across Kenya by restoring ecosystems, expanding access to clean water and sanitation, growing clean energy use, strengthening climate-smart farming, and improving health — as five connected programme areas.
Every intervention is designed to reinforce the others: a rehabilitated water point supports both health and agriculture; a restored watershed supports both climate resilience and livelihoods.
How we put the mission to work
Five integrated programmes carry our work from the ground up — each detailed further on its own page.
