“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
At Team Kenya, we work in close partnership with local people, local and national organisations in Kenya and other international development organisations to ensure our work is informed by what our communities really need, and what the global community is saying really works.
Twende Pamoja
Twende Pamoja delivers the projects on the ground in Ndhiwa. We have worked with Twende Pamoja since the organisation was founded in 2007 as a grassroots self-help group run by local community members. In 2015, it became a registered Kenyan NGO.
We work in close partnership with Twende Pamoja, which is operated by local community members who have an in-depth understanding of the specific needs of the communities we are supporting. This ensures all work in Kenya is community-led, sustainable, and holistic.
Our Partnership Approach
Our partnership with Twende Pamoja is about sharing power, not shifting responsibility. Team Kenya provides funding, capacity building, training, friendship and support, while Twende Pamoja leads delivery in Ndhiwa through local knowledge, community relationships and locally led decision-making.
We are committed to balancing power and avoiding top-down approaches. Team Kenya does not dictate projects or delivery in Kenya; instead, we support Twende Pamoja to lead effective, sustainable work informed directly by the needs of their community.
