North Rift, Kenya
Relief and rehabilitation for pastoralist communities across Kenya's North Rift
NORPACRRO is a community-rooted organisation working alongside pastoralist and agro-pastoralist households in six counties of the North Rift and their borderlands, turning relief into recovery and recovery into resilience.

Our mission
To provide rehabilitation and relief where possible within six counties in Kenya and their borderlands.
We work where distances are long, services are thin and climate shocks arrive with increasing regularity. Our approach pairs immediate relief with the longer work of rehabilitation: rebuilding livelihoods, restoring land, and strengthening the local institutions that carry communities through the next shock.
Where we work
Six counties, one connected rangeland
Our programme area covers six counties in Kenya's North Rift and the borderlands that connect them. Pastoralist households here move with their herds across county and national boundaries; our work is designed around that reality rather than around administrative lines.
- West Pokot
- Turkana
- Baringo
- Samburu
- Elgeyo Marakwet
- Laikipia

Thematic pillars
Four pillars of our work
Each pillar is delivered through partnerships with county governments, community structures and technical partners, and is monitored against a shared results framework.
Education & Youth Empowerment
School access and retention support, learning materials, and vocational and enterprise pathways for young people.
Food Security & Relief
Emergency relief during drought and flood shocks, combined with livelihood protection for livestock-keeping households.
Environmental Conservation
Land and rangeland rehabilitation, tree growing, and reduction of pressure on fragile dryland ecosystems.
Flagship projects
Where we concentrate effort
Three flagship projects anchor our programme and are designed to be replicable across the six counties.
Clean cooking and environmental protection
Promoting improved cookstoves and fuel-efficient cooking technologies to reduce household woodfuel demand, cut indoor smoke, and ease pressure on already degraded dryland vegetation.
Fertilizer and organic farming
Supporting agro-pastoralist households to raise yields and rebuild soil health through a combination of appropriate fertilizer use, composting and organic practice.
Business skills training
Delivering structured enterprise training on the ILO Start and Improve Your Business (SIYB) model - comparable to Mastercard Foundation / JGP-style enterprise programmes - for small traders, youth and women's groups.
Accountability
How we measure our work
We report against a defined results framework with quarterly and annual reporting, and we publish the headline figures below once verified. Values are marked as placeholders until baselines are confirmed.
