About RHD, Kenya
Resource Hub for Development (RHD) is a Kenyan national non-profit organisation committed to empowering grassroots communities, protecting human rights defenders, and championing inclusive development across Kenya. We work with marginalized communities to advance justice, equality, sustainable livelihoods, inclusion, and resilience among those affected by poverty, marginalization, unemployment, abuse, famine, disease, disability, and climate change by addressing pressing challenges in education, health, food security, gender rights, and climate resilience. Guided by a rights-based approach, we amplify marginalized voices and foster accountability in policymaking, ensuring no one is left behind. Together with partners and donors, we are building a future of dignity, opportunity, and shared prosperity. Our initiatives focus on children, youth, and women.
What We Do
We create pathways for justice, dignity, and sustainable growth in Kenya’s most marginalized communities. We work with youth, women, children, and vulnerable groups—including PWDs, HRDs, and PLWHIV/AIDS—to expand access to education, healthcare, livelihoods, and civic participation. Our initiatives cut across WaSH, human rights protection, youth and women’s empowerment, inclusive education, gender equality, climate-smart agriculture, biodiversity, climate change, sports, research, civic engagement and participation, peacebuilding, and intercultural dialogue and exchanges, creating resilient communities prepared for the future. By blending research, innovation, advocacy, and grassroots action, we deliver lasting impact—ensuring dignity, opportunity, and hope for all.
Join Our Partnership
At Resource Hub for Development (RHD), we believe true transformation happens when organizations, communities, and changemakers come together with a shared vision. By joining our project partnerships, you will be investing in education for vulnerable children, sustainable livelihoods for women and youth, health without stigma, climate justice, and peacebuilding initiatives that directly impact marginalized communities across Kenya. We invite development partners, donors, private sector actors, and civil society organizations to collaborate with us in scaling innovative, community-driven solutions that foster dignity, equality, and resilience. Your partnership not only fuels programs but also creates a ripple effect of empowerment and opportunity for generations to come.
Word From RHD Co-founder/ Director
At Resource Hub for Development (RHD), we are driven by a simple but powerful vision: a just, inclusive, and sustainable world where every person—no matter their background—has the opportunity to thrive.
Our work spans education, healthcare, women and youth empowerment, sustainable agriculture, climate justice, WaSH, peacebuilding, and humanitarian relief. Each program is rooted in research, innovation, and community partnerships, ensuring that solutions are not only impactful but also sustainable. By amplifying marginalized voices—children, women, youth, persons with disabilities, and vulnerable families—we transform challenges into opportunities and restore dignity where it has been lost. But our mission cannot be achieved alone. It takes collaboration, shared responsibility, and the generosity of people like you. Donors, volunteers, well-wishers, stakeholders, and partners form the lifeblood of our impact—together, we create ripples of change that grow into waves of transformation.
I warmly invite you to walk this journey with us—to stand with communities on the frontlines of poverty, inequality, climate change, and conflict. With your partnership, we can go further, reach more lives, and build lasting legacies of hope and resilience.
Thank you for believing in change, and for believing in us.
Empowering communities, protecting human rights, and driving inclusive change across Kenya.
Together, we build resilient, just, and sustainable communities where no one is left behind. Our Initiatives
RHD works with the poorest of the poor, marginalized, and isolated rural communities nationwide to identify and solve core problems. Our programs are designed to empower people, protect dignity, and build sustainable futures. Every initiative is backed by research, innovation, and community partnerships, ensuring measurable and lasting impact for Kenya’s most vulnerable populations.
Education, Skills & Research
We believe education is the most powerful tool to break cycles of poverty. RHD invests in capacity building, skills development, AI technology integration in education, access to quality education, and intercultural exchanges to equip young people with leadership, civic, and life skills. Through research and evidence-based advocacy, we design scalable solutions that strengthen youth participation, active citizenship, and informed policy-making.
Health, Rights & Social Inclusion
We fight for health without stigma. From tackling HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria to advocating for sexual and reproductive health rights, we ensure no one is left behind among the marginalized groups—including PWDs, PLWHIV/AIDS, sex workers, and LGBTQ+ communities with stigma-free, rights-based approaches. We work to improve the health of the locals through equitable and affordable access to quality health care services for the poor.
Sustainable Community Development
Our Sustainable Community Programs drive long-term change by empowering women and promoting gender equality, equipping farmers with climate-smart tools for food security, expanding access to safe water and sanitation, protecting biodiversity, promoting democratic development and the rule of law, and using sports and culture to build peace and unity. Together, these initiatives strengthen resilience, uplift vulnerable groups, and create thriving, inclusive communities where dignity, health, and opportunity are within everyone’s reach.

I was lucky to work together with RHD in Kisumu in January 2018 in the framework of the project We AfriHug. We implemented training Seminars for 21st Century Skills together at Nyamasaria Secondary School in Kisumu. I am very happy about our partnership and collaboration and I will be happy to work together again in the future.
