Public Benefits Organizations Week 2026
Public Benefits Organizations Week 2026 (PBO Week 2026) was organized by the Public Benefits Organizations Regulatory Authority(PBORA), which focused on celebrating, connecting, and collaborating with Public Benefit Organizations (PBOs).
This yearโs Theme is โA New Dawn in Action: Celebrating Impact, Connecting Voices, Collaborating for Transformation under the PBO Act.โ
The event aimed to highlight the role of PBOs in Kenya, raise awareness of the transformative impact of the PBO Act, and foster dialogue and partnerships among PBOs, government agencies, and other stakeholders. It provided a national platform for government, civil society, the private sector, and communities to engage, build partnerships, and showcase the critical role PBOs play in driving inclusive development.
Kenya Good Neighbors was pleased to participate in this important event, where we had the opportunity to showcase our programs and the impact we continue to make in our communities.
The event was graced by the First Lady, H.E. Rachel Ruto, who in her remarks, highlighted the often-overlooked work of charitable organizations, describing their efforts as transformative yet largely unseen. She underscored that PBOs play a critical role in restoring dignity and reaching the unreached vulnerable communities and standing in the gaps where systems are still catching up.
Kenya Good Neighbors remains committed to its mission: โWe work anywhere without discrimination to make the world a place without hunger where people live together in harmony.โ

Kajiado County has experienced a trend ofย increased temperatures and unpredictable rainfall patternsย in recent years, leading to more frequent droughts and water scarcity.ย This has negatively impacted livelihoods, particularly for pastoralist communities, through livestock losses and increased human-wildlife conflict. To mitigate the above challenges, Kenya Good Neighbors established a well-fenced 5-acre demonstration farm where a number of activities such as planting of drought-resistant fruit trees, vegetables and drought-tolerant Juncao Grass have been carried out. Since its inception, the project has thrived, allowing the community to harvest vegetables and Juncao grass several times. The project aims to sensitize the community to embrace alternative farming methods to address climate change in the area.ย

Vertical gardening is changing the narrative on food production positively. This is a perfect solution for school gardens and home gardens. Kenya Good Neighbors supported a childrenโs home in Ruiru by establishing 15 gardens (Cones). This will help to mitigate food scarcity in childrenโs home. This technology uses less water, does not require much work in maintenance, and takes a short period to be ready for consumption.
