Empowering Communities. Transforming Lives. Building Resilience.
PIFORD is a registered NGO based in Meru County, Kenya, working across Meru, Isiolo, Laikipia, Tharaka-Nithi and Embu counties to improve livelihoods through health, education, youth empowerment, climate action and social protection.
Our Mission
To improve the quality of life of vulnerable populations through sustainable development programs.
Working Hand in Hand with Communities
"Pamoja" — the Swahili word for together — sits at the heart of everything we do. We listen first, then act with communities, not just for them.
From climate action and youth empowerment to education and peacebuilding, our programs are designed to be sustainable, locally led, and responsive to the real challenges rural communities face every day.
