Impact & Transparency

Real work. Real delivery. Full accountability.

Sustainable transformation takes time. But it must also be visible. Measurable. Tangible.

Everything you see below is drawn directly from work already delivered on the ground in Laikipia North and Samburu.

We do not promise impact. We demonstrate it.

Where Your Money Goes

We operate on a simple principle.

100 percent of funds go directly to community impact.

  • No UK salaries are drawn.

  • Nigel and Charlotte volunteer their time.

  • All UK involvement is voluntary.

This is not a symbolic claim. It is how the organisation is structured.

We are a registered Community Interest Company, governed responsibly, with clear accountability and transparent monitoring of impact.

A 10 Year Commitment

We are not running short-term projects.

Charlotte and Nigel have committed to a minimum ten year partnership with these communities.

In a sector where organisations often leave when funding ends, consistency builds trust. Trust builds progress.

The roadmap is co-created with community leadership.
The goal is community ownership.
External expertise supports. Local capability sustains.

How we Measure progress

A landscape with a dirt road in the foreground, scattered bushes and small trees across a semi-arid terrain, and rolling hills in the background under a partly cloudy sky.
Two men, one with dark skin and the other with light skin and gray hair, are standing together outdoors in a grassy area. The gray-haired man is wrapped in a red and white patterned cloth. Several people are sitting on chairs behind them, and a few others are sitting or standing in the background near trees and small huts.

We measure:

  • Water security improvements

  • Food resilience

  • Income diversification

  • Participation of women and youth

  • Infrastructure built and sustained

  • Community ownership of assets

The comprehensive needs assessment provides our baseline. Future reporting will track progress against that foundation.

We measure what we promise.
And we will report it clearly.

Community Engagement

With light-touch remote support, senior community members came together to facilitate their own engagement workshops — and the results were clear and encouraging. Each community elected a male, female and youth representative to sit on a newly formed, single Community Partnership Board: a commitment to share ideas, policy and resources across all five communities. It was the first time anything like this had ever happened here.

We visited each community shortly afterwards. While meeting face-to-face clearly mattered — it brought confidence and a tangible sense of hope — we used the opportunity to be honest: we will walk alongside them for the full ten years, but their voices, their organisation and their ownership must come to the fore. Our role is to decrease over time. This vision must be theirs, not ours. We seek to own nothing. What we do seek is to support them to learn — and relearn — how to thrive, and to build a future they can be proud to have shaped for their children, and their children's children.

Pamoja Community Development & Starlink

We established an organisation — initially called Laikipia Maasai — and appointed a Community Development Coordinator to maintain momentum on the ground. To keep communication consistent across remote terrain, we installed satellite internet, enabling regular video meetings and ensuring progress continued between visits.

The organisation has since been renamed Pamoja Community Development CIC, in partnership with a newly formed local Community Based Organisation (CBO). The name better reflects the multi-tribal nature of these communities, which have a strong and integrated Samburu presence as well as Maasai and so is more inclusive.

Transparency Matters

Development only works when trust is real.

Trust is built through:

  • Clear governance

  • Visible delivery

  • Community-led decision-making

  • Financial transparency

We welcome donors, partners and volunteers who value long term, accountable transformation.
