Who We Are

Who We Are

Women Action Against Poverty (WAAP) was founded in 2013 and is dedicated to empowering communities in Kenya and Somalia. Our goal is to create an inclusive environment where women and marginalized communities can thrive through education, healthcare, and sustainable livelihoods.

WAAP's mission transcends regional and belief barriers to serve individuals regardless of origin. We work to create platforms where communities contribute not only financial resources but also human capital and ideas for socio-economic development.

Our core areas of focus include Education, Healthcare, Livelihood, Food Security, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Natural Resource Management (NRM), and Peacebuilding & Civic Engagement.

WAAP believes in building mutually beneficial partnerships with other non-profits, commercial, and governmental institutions to uplift communities and foster sustainable development.
