About Nahum International Initiative
At Nahum International Initiatives, we are a purpose-driven NGO committed to transforming lives across Kenya and beyond. Our programs focus on youth empowerment, community development, environmental conservation, elder care, rehabilitation, and food security.
Our Story
We work with diverse populations — including neglected elders, marginalized women, out-of-school youth, rural farmers, school children, and underserved communities. From informal settlements to remote villages, our reach extends beyond borders because dignity, opportunity, and hope are universal rights.
Our Programs
Our programs are catalysts for long-term transformation, crafted with care and rooted in the community. Whether mentoring youth, training artisans, guiding farmers into agri-value chains, or supporting recovering individuals, every initiative restores dignity, expands opportunity, and builds resilience.
Our Model
We deliver impact through six interconnected strategies:
- Community-Led Identification: Engaging local networks to co-create targeted, locally-owned solutions.
- Direct & Respectful Aid: Every aid distributed with care, ensuring support uplifts without dependency.
- Capacity Building & Knowledge Transfer: Every initiative includes training, turning aid into ability.
- Integrated Development Approach: Addressing multiple vulnerabilities at once — food, livelihoods, health, education, psychosocial support, economic empowerment.
- Youth and Gender Inclusion: Young people, women, and girls are central as learners, leaders, and changemakers.
- Scalable & Replicable Models: Every project is designed to grow, evolve, and transfer across communities.
Core Values
- Dignity: We honor the humanity of everyone we serve.
- Equity: We dismantle barriers that exclude or marginalize.
- Compassion: We act with empathy, urgency, and heart.
- Integrity: We lead with transparency, humility, and accountability.
- Collaboration: We build together across sectors and cultures.
- Resilience: We believe in the strength of people to rise — and we walk beside them as they do.
