TAI Kenya CBO - TAI Kenya

TAI Kenya strengthens communities to regenerate the land, build sustainable livelihoods, and create healthier, more equitable futures.

Through agroecology, enterprise development, climate resilience, and health & equity programs, we equip women, youth, and smallholder farmers with knowledge, resources, and market connections to thrive in a changing climate.

OUR VISION

A just, healthy, and resilient society where communities — especially women and youth — thrive in harmony with nature.

OUR MISSION

We work with rural communities in Meru and Trans-Nzoia Counties to advance agroecology, sustainable livelihoods, climate resilience, and community well-being through nature-based solutions developed together with the people who live them.

A community-based organization, connecting people to nature-based solutions.

Transformative Agroecology Initiative (TAI Kenya) works with rural communities across Meru and Trans-Nzoia Counties to strengthen livelihoods, social well-being, and the environment together — because the three can’t be solved one at a time.

We don’t bring solutions from outside. Programs are co-designed with women, youth, and local stakeholders, guided by agroecology and participatory development, so the change belongs to the community long after a program ends.

Four pillars, one integrated approach to community-led change.

01 / AGROECOLOGY

Sustainable Food Systems

Training women and youth in agroecological, climate-smart farming — building soil health, biodiversity, and food security using indigenous knowledge and digital tools.

02 / ENTERPRISE

Livelihoods Development

Helping women and youth turn agroecology into income — value addition, green enterprise, and market access through digital tools and online marketplaces.

03 / CLIMATE

Resilience & Stewardship

Supporting water conservation and sustainable land use, and building community awareness of climate change through mapping and early-warning tools.

04 / HEALTH & EQUITY

Community Health & Advocacy

Improving maternal and adolescent health, advancing gender equality, and addressing harmful practices through community voice and policy engagement.

Outcomes, not just activity.

Note for TAI Kenya team: these are the outcome areas from your brief. Wherever you have a verified number, source, or timeframe for any of them, add it — a sourced figure (“340 households, 2025”) will do far more for donor trust than the outcome statement alone.

Improved food security and nutrition

Increased income through green enterprises

Enhanced climate resilience in communities

Empowered women and youth in leadership and livelihoods

Improved health outcomes for vulnerable populations

TAI Kenya has helped us see farming differently. We are learning how to improve our soil, grow healthier food, and use practices that can continue supporting our families even as the climate changes.

The support and training gave us more than skills. It gave women an opportunity to believe in what we can create for our families and our community.

TAI Kenya creates opportunities for young people to participate, learn, and take leadership in issues affecting our communities. We are not just being supported; we are being given a voice.

What stands out about TAI Kenya is the way they work with communities. They listen first, involve local people in identifying solutions, and focus on building change that communities can own and sustain.
