About Us
We Are the Change We’ve Been Waiting For
Born in the heart of Mandera East, AGAO is grassroots, youth-led organization founded on a single belief: every human being deserves opportunity, dignity, and a voice.
We exist to bridge the gap between survival and success for communities in Kenya’s most marginalized regions. From empowering a young girl to stay in school, to planting trees that restore degraded land, to training youth leaders in peacebuilding—our work is bold, local, and life-changing.
Our Vision
A future where ASAL communities are educated, empowered, and self-reliant.
Our Mission
To create sustainable, community-led solutions that uplift youth, women, and vulnerable families in Kenya’s arid regions.

- Hope – Because despair is not an option.
- Service – Because leadership starts at the grassroots.
- Integrity – Because trust builds transformation.
- Empowerment – Because real change begins within.
- Inclusivity – Because no one is invisible.
