Who we are

Established in 2009 Pamoja for Transformation is a National Non-Governamental Organization (NGO) registered in Kenya as a Trust and in Liechtenstein as non-profit association. The organization envisions a Peaceful, just and prosperous society. We work in conflict affected communities in East Africa, serving marginalized and disadvantaged people, communities and groups to transit from crisis and poverty to sustainable peace and development. We seek to contribute to the transformation of structural and latent conflicts that arise from weak governance systems, social injustices, environmental degradation and economic inequalities.

We work by supporting local, community-based initiatives that strengthen resilience against violence and climate change by enhancing economic and employment opportunities. Our primary target includes women and youth; Refugees and pastoralists, farmers and entrepreneurs from rural and peri-urban communities. The organization works in collaboration with county and national Governments, civil society and private sector, religious organization, media, community organizations and technical vocational training institutions across Kenya.
