Rural Afrique Institute Foundation

Who We Are

Rural Afrique Institute Foundation is a registered non-profit organization in Kenya dedicated to empowering rural communities across Africa. We focus on research, community development, education, health, women's empowerment, and sustainable climate action to protect the planet while improving livelihoods.

Our research-driven and community-centered approach ensures that every program is evidence-based, impactful, and tailored to the real needs of communities. Through partnerships with local communities, government agencies, non-profits organisations, and the private sector, we deliver practical, scalable initiatives that create lasting change.

We believe that healthy, educated, and empowered communities living in a resilient environment are the foundation for Africa's growth and we are committed to building them, one project at a time.
