Message from the Founder
Reagan Otieno Ochieng: Executive Director
Founded in 2022, Wajibika Centre for Rural Development is dedicated to supporting underserved and hard-to-reach communities across Kenya, with a particular focus on remote regions such as Turkana in the northwest, as well as Busia, Kisumu, and Siaya in western Kenya, and informal settlements in Nairobi.
Over the past five years, the Centre has transitioned from a project-based model to a more strategic and sustainable approach to community development. Its work is structured around four core portfolios: Resilience, Youth Empowerment, Health, and Education, all guided by the cross-cutting principles of localization, gender inclusion, and social cohesion.
Wajibika Centre strengthens vulnerable communities by building climate resilience, enhancing access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services, promoting health and education, and fostering opportunities for youth leadership and sustainable livelihoods.
With a dedicated team and strong trust from the communities it serves, Wajibika Centre has built a solid foundation over the past five years. As it marks this milestone, the organization remains committed to expanding its reach, strengthening partnerships, and delivering sustainable, long-term impact for communities across Kenya.
