Our Projects
We work with communities to co-design initiatives that prioritize sustainability measures from the outset, ensuring long-term impact and self-sufficiency. We expand collaborations, support local knowledge and talents to provide solutions to poverty challenges.
Wells of Hope
Nyatike, Migori County - Kenya
The Bough Foundation in Partnership with DOTERRA HEALING HANDS is working with the Bande Community in Nyatike Sub-County to provide clean and safe drinking water through the drilling of water boreholes, and the development of distribution channels to improve access.
​
The project aims to reduce incidences of waterborne illnesses affecting children, improving their health and learning in schools. Freeing more time for women and girls who spend long hours fetching water, allowing better engagement income generating ventures, and better attendance of school for girls.
Micro enterprise Support project
Nairobi, Kenya
The Micro Enterprise Support Project, launched by The Bough Foundation, aims to empower small businesses in Nairobi, Kenya, by providing them with access to information, technology, and financial resources. Despite their resilience, many small businesses in Nairobi struggle to grow and develop, often due to limited access to resources and knowledge.
This project seeks to bridge that gap by offering training and tools related to information access and technology, to help entrepreneurs improve their operations, increase efficiency, and enhance decision-making capabilities. Additionally, the project will investigate the effectiveness of extremely low or zero-interest loans in encouraging small business owners to borrow and invest in their ventures. .
Food for the Homeless Initiative
Nairobi, Kenya
Feeding the Homeless Initiative is a compassion project implemented in Nairobi city, aimed at providing nutritious and safe meals for homeless individuals who often go without food for extended periods. In partnership with large hotels, The Bough Foundation has established a unique collaboration to redirect excess food from their businesses towards feeding the most vulnerable members of society. Currently, the project is being run in partnership with WESTLANDS BANQUET LIMITED, targeting the most deserving cases in Westlands District of Nairobi. By rescueing surplus food and channeling it towards those in need, this initiative combats food waste while simultaneously alleviating hunger and malnutrition among the homeless population. Through this effort, The Bough Foundation is making a tangible difference in the lives of marginalized individuals, restoring hope and dignity to those who have been forgotten.
Tackling period poverty
Nairobi, Kajiado, Migori Counties- Kenya
This is a comprehensive campaign to address period poverty and promote attitude change around cultural shame attached to menstruation. We also work with communities to tackle local challenges linked to poverty such as environmental conservation. Due to period poverty, 1 in 10 girls is out of school and disempowered in sub-Saharan Africa. Promoting menstrual equity is key to supporting women and young girls. This program aims to provide immediate relief to those in need while also working towards long-term solutions to eliminate period poverty.
