Trocaire - Nairobi, Kenya

Trócaire started working in Kenya in mid 1970s, and set up our Nairobi office in 1994.

Since our initial work, we have expanded our programme activities into the informal slum areas of Nairobi and Nakuru, as well as working in the arid lands of Turkana and East Pokot in Baringo County.

We also work in the semi-arid areas of Embu, Kitui and Tharaka Nithi supporting families to sustain themselves in the face of climate change and recurring droughts.

We have relationships with over twenty local partner organisations across all levels of Kenyan society thus ensuring that our work addresses not only the symptoms of poverty and marginalisation but also addresses the underlying causes of such poverty.
