ABOUT US
OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
As a development and humanitarian organization, we are guided by the established Laws of Kenya, the Humanitarian Principles, and the Sphere Standards in conducting our work.
We are also bound by strong Christian values of Faith and Equality without discrimination – we work and attend to every situation irrespective of faith, culture, race or ethnic orientation.
OUR WORK
Founded in 2020, the Wanjiku Gitonga Foundation had previously been involved in humanitarian and community interventions for over 10 years.
Initially, the founders focused on the most vulnerable members of the society especially those living with physical disabilities.
However, as time passed, we expanded interventions to humanitarian development where we work with communities towards alleviating suffering of families faced with conflicts, drought and collapse of social structures.
We are a community focused foundation whose work is deeply anchored in community development through people-driven change. We work with communities to identify their priority areas, find sustainable solutions and are against entrenching the culture of dependency.
We aim at working with the communities we target, rather than working for them – only then can we create sustainability and ownership, long after our support has moved elsewhere.
Aware that humanitarianism has evolved beyond relief support, we have adopted a sustainable approach to our work through developing tools and structures that outlive the donor presence.
