Our Story

Omar Mohamed Foundation in Action

Omar Mohamed Foundation started its operations in 2019 as a lobby group to marshal support for vulnerable and excluded families in the poorest and marginalized arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) of the Northern Kenya.

The Foundation’s initial focus was to meet the humanitarian imperative on food security and water and sanitation. With time, the Foundation evolved its programmes from humanitarian response to building longer term programmes that would increase community resilience.

Due to the growing operations and coverage areas, the Foundation was formally registered in 2021 as a National NGO under the Kenya NGO Act Cap 19 of 1990 to position herself for increased donor support to meet growing community needs.

Our Programmatic Approach

Community-Centered

We believe in the power of communities to drive their own development. Our programs are designed in consultation with local stakeholders and tailored to address specific needs and priorities.

Partnership-Oriented

Collaboration is key to our success. We work closely with governments, NGOs, academia, and the private sector to leverage resources, expertise, and networks for maximum impact.

Evidence-Based

We rely on data and research to inform our decision-making and continuously evaluate the effectiveness of our programs. We are committed to learning and adapting based on evidence and feedback from beneficiaries.

Sustainability

Our interventions are designed to be sustainable in the long term, fostering resilience and self-reliance within communities. We prioritize capacity building, local ownership, and the empowerment of individuals and institutions.

We are Proud of Our Partners
