REALIZING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT

The rationale behind NEFOS KENYA is that, by working together, people are able to achieve more than individuals or organizations working on their own, and involving those affected is likely to result in a better and more acceptable long-term solution. These desired outcomes have led to increased acknowledgment of participatory activities as a means of achieving environmental and sustainability goals.
