Empowering Caregivers: Insights from The CARE Conference
About Us
The Action Foundation (TAF) is a community- driven organization working to end exclusion, discrimination, and violence towards children, women, and girls with disabilities in marginalized communities. We reach those furthest from necessary services and opportunities by working with their caregivers and the community around them.
Our mission is to improve the quality of life of children, women, and girls with disabilities through programs covering their entire lifecycle, from early years to adolescence and adulthood. Our work focuses on enhancing access to health, education, social protection, and community care through direct service provision, system strengthening, and capacity building.
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 our target groups’ needs through community engagement, innovation, and co-creation of interventions.
About Us
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.
