About Us
The Action Foundation (TAF) is a community-driven organization registered in Kenya that is working to end exclusion, discrimination, and violence towards children, women, and girls with disabilities in marginalized communities. We work to reach those furthest from necessary services and opportunities by working with their caregivers and the community around them. This helps these vulnerable groups build better lives for themselves, grow their resilience, and cultivate lasting change.
Our mission is to build inclusive and resilient communities where children, women, and girls with disabilities can thrive. We envision a fully inclusive Africa where children, women, and girls with disabilities can realize their maximum potential. Over the years, TAF has adapted its interventions to beneficiary needs through community engagement, innovation, and co-creation of activities with target groups.

Where We Work
The Action Foundation operates in the major informal settlements of Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, i.e., Kibera, Mukuru, Mathare, and Kawangware, and partners with schools and communities in all the eight regions in Kenya.
Our centers are located at the heart of the communities we operate in and are within a short distance from the targeted households, breaking the barrier of accessibility to critical services.
