About This Cause
Kitui Development Centre (KDC) was registered in December 2001 as a local Non-profit making organization under the NGO coordination act of 1990. It’s a capacity building organization which empowers vulnerable communities to improve their well-being. KDC is involved in rural development activities which are geared towards poverty reduction. It plays a significant role in the socio-economic development of rural communities since its services target and benefits the most poor and excluded groups in the society. KDC facilitates the community to identify the pressing needs and set their own priority development objectives. A holistic and participatory approach is used to organize communities to develop appropriate development action plans that are then translated into projects. This empowerment leads the community to participate in their own socioeconomic development. Since its inception KDC has continued to implement programs on the following thematic areas: - 1. Food Security, Health and Nutrition; 2. Water, Environment and Climate Change; 3. Gender Empowerment and Child Protection; 4. Community Social Capital Development 5.
