“Empowering Communities, Uplifting Futures”
In every community, there are stories waiting to be rewritten — stories of resilience, of overlooked potential, of lives halted not by a lack of will, but a lack of opportunity.
Action Now Kenya (ANK) exists to change those stories.
Rooted in the heart of Ongata Rongai, ANK is a dynamic, grassroots-driven non-governmental organization with a bold and unwavering mission: to educate, empower, and elevate communities from within. We are not outsiders reaching in — we are insiders rising up, together.
🌱 Who We Are
Founded on the belief that real change begins where people live and grow, ANK has spent years quietly transforming lives through practical, scalable, and sustainable interventions.
Originally focused on microenterprise development and health education, ANK has since evolved into a community anchor institution known for its integrity, impact, and deep relational trust with the people it serves.
“We are not here to fix people. We are here to walk with them — as they rise, rebuild, and reclaim their future.”
🎯 What We Do

🔍 Research, Documentation & Dissemination
- Conducting grassroots-level research to inform interventions

- Sharing findings with stakeholders to influence policy and attract support
💬 Why It Matters
Too often, development efforts bypass the people most affected — offering short-term relief instead of long-term capacity.
ANK is different.
We build from the inside out. We believe communities don’t need rescuing — they need resources, voice, and opportunity. And once equipped, they are not just recipients of change — they are the leaders of it.
👥 The Lives We Touch
- A single mother gaining skills in hairdressing to support her family
- A refugee teen learning photography to capture a new vision of his life
- A child finding hope after abuse, through mentorship and music
- A small village organizing to demand cleaner water, better roads, and a voice in leadership
These are not just outcomes — they are transformations. Quiet revolutions that start in community halls, schoolyards, kitchens, and classrooms.
🚀 Our Vision for the Future
We are building a future where:
- Every child is protected, mentored, and heard
- Every adult has access to skills, dignity, and meaningful work
- Every community has the tools and voice to shape its own destiny
In the near term, ANK is working toward:
- Establishing formal lifeskills and reintegration programs for soon-to-be-released prison inmates
- Scaling up its training and sponsorship model for youth and women
- Becoming a leading documentation and learning hub for grassroots education and advocacy
- Expanding our capacity to respond to emerging protection issues across vulnerable regions
🧭 Anchored at Rock of Peace
ANK is proud to be hosted at Rock of Peace, a safe and vibrant community hub that reflects our shared values of peace, stability, and empowerment.
From this space, we continue to launch programs, welcome community members, and build the future — one person, one family, one partnership at a time.
