Your Success Begins with Us

Poverty Reduction

Who we are: 

YOD International is a supplier of poverty reduction programs, and humanitarian intelligence on the welfare of Kenya's slum residents. Our focus is Entrepreneurship, Agriculture, Community Art, and Safe Housing.  We are committed to helping people who live in the slums, extending the reach of government and NGOs who's programs do not reach slum dwellers. We seek to increase institutional capacity. YOD has 7+ years of experience working in Nairobi's slums.

SAFE HOMES in the SLUMS

Mukuru is our favorite slum where many homes are made of corrugated tin. Fires are prevalent and jump from roof to roof. We have access to an alternative home; made of pre-fab concrete, affordable through a micro-loan.  

CHILDREN'S Programs

Feeding little minds with a positive vision for Kenya's future is paramount. Global Awareness, Role Play, Healthy Living, Ethics, Leadership, Gender Equality, and Diplomacy.

“Success is not final; failure is not fatal:

It is the courage to continue that counts.”
