Who we are

Qabale Duba Foundation

 QDF is a community organization that is championing for the right of girls/women in northern Kenya. The aim of the foundation is to promote the development of pastoralist’s communities through facilitating their access to education, health, social services and economic empowerment.  This is done through building on women’s and youths aspirations and achievements as far as possible.

Qabale Duba Foundation realises that even small steps can greatly improve self-confidence and social capital for these groups. The activities and interventions put in in the implementation of the programs, considers the issues that affect women and youths at different stages of their lives. In particular, our programs are developed to ensure clear understanding of the motivations and possibilities for girls/women and young people who are the entry point for ensuring the sustainability of pastoralism as a valuable and sustainable way of life.

While working with women and youths in the community, we look at their daily roles and aspirations in their households and communities, especially in relation to education, Women empowerment, Maternal health and women/youths as agent of peace in the society. Qabale Duba Foundation’s strategy is to work with these groups to create awareness that women and youth are the pillar in every society so they should not be left out.
