Adeso is an expanding and vibrant African based international development and humanitarian organization. 
At Adeso, we work with African communities who are yet to realize their full potential; working inside these
communities to create environments in which Africans can thrive. Our belief that economic, social and
environmental security is the bedrock of a healthy community drives the nature and intent of our
programming. We work to prevent and overcome situations that adversely affect community well-being by:
reinvigorating the economy, developing skills for life and work, providing humanitarian aid, and influencing
policy. 

For the past 20 years we have strengthened rural livelihoods through environmental awareness, training, 
technology transfer and innovative humanitarian projects in pursuit of a peaceful, self-reliant, and greener
future. At present, Adeso has programs in Somalia, Kenya and South Sudan. 

Adeso is an exciting and dynamic organization experiencing managed rapid growth.  
A registered non-profit in Kenya, a 501(c)3 tax-exempt charity in the USA and a registered charity in England 
& Wales (no. 1131711) we offer sound employment conditions with opportunities for personal growth and
development. 

Adeso US and UK support Adeso through fundraising and donor outreach, along with support in finance, 
communications, government affairs and other areas. Each organization is governed by separate individual
boards to support the organization’s critical work in Kenya, Somalia and South Sudan. Adeso US and UK work
closely with Adeso in Kenya and the Kenyan Board of Directors to identify institutional priorities and funding
needs. Additionally, they support public advocacy on policy issues of concern, through tax-exempt educational
and outreach work.
