The Action Foundation

About

Since 2009, The Action Foundation (TAF) has delivered health and inclusive education services to over 20,000 children and youth with disabilities at our outreach centers and through partnerships with public and community-level schools and health facilities. With 15 years of demonstrated success in delivering impactful programs, we are dedicated to championing a movement for disability-inclusive service delivery across Kenya and Africa. Our experience has revealed that children and youth with disabilities experience severe marginalization, poverty, violence, social exclusion, and unequal access to opportunities and that girls and women with disabilities disproportionately face socio-economic exclusion, barriers to education, and heightened risk of GBV. Our mission is to improve the quality of life of Children and Youth with Disabilities (CYWDs) through programs that cover their entire lifecycle, from early years to adolescence and adulthood. We envision a fully inclusive Africa where CYWDs can thrive. We are dedicated to empowering CYWDs to reach their full potential and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Our programs, spanning Child Health and Development, Foundational Learning, Adolescent and Youth Empowerment, and Adolescent Girls and Young Women’s Mentorship, create pathways for CYWDs to reach their full potential and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Through strategic collaborations with national and subnational government agencies, local leaders, and organizations, we advocate for inclusive policies and practices that prioritize disability inclusion and address gender disparities.
