Building Inclusive, Resilient & Sustainable Communities
A Kenyan community-driven development organization working at the intersection of climate action, inclusion and sustainable development, with the communities most often left out.
Inclusion in Action!
Who We Are
Poverty Eradication and Sustainable Action Aid (PESAID) Ke works with special-interest and underserved groups, particularly persons with disabilities, older persons, women and girls, young people, and other climate-vulnerable communities, to ensure that climate and development solutions are inclusive, equitable and responsive to their needs. Communities should not be treated only as beneficiaries: they should help identify challenges, shape solutions, participate in decisions and lead change.

Inclusive, sustainable and resilient communities where all people can live with dignity and shape their own futures.

To empower communities through inclusive, sustainable and community-driven development that addresses poverty and exclusion.
