ActionAid has been working in Kenya since 1972 to facilitate processes that eradicate poverty and ensure social justice through anti-poverty projects, local institutional capability building and public policy influencing.

The organisation supports projects and programmes that promote the interests of poor and marginalized people. ActionAid Kenya has evolved over the years from a service delivery organisation to one that is primarily concerned with the promotion and defence of economic, social, cultural, civil and political human rights.
