Turkana Life Organization
Turkana Life Organization is a community-driven, non-profit organization based in Lodwar, Turkana Central Sub-County, Kenya. Founded by local leaders and vision bearers, we exist to respond to the urgent social, economic, and environmental challenges facing the Turkana people.
Feeding the Elderly and School Children
We provide nutritious meals to vulnerable elders and malnourished school children in marginalized villages. Our feeding programs fight hunger, restore dignity, and boost school attendance.
Mental Health & Drug Abuse Prevention
We break the silence around men’s mental health, offering safe spaces, counseling, and awareness campaigns. We combat rising drug and alcohol abuse among youth through education, peer mentorship, and rehabilitation support.
Climate Change & Tree Maintenance
We go beyond planting trees — we ensure their survival. Through school eco-clubs and community groups, we maintain, water, and protect trees, safeguarding Turkana’s fragile environment.
Agriculture Education for Children
We cultivate a generation of food-secure youth by teaching climate-smart agriculture in schools. Children learn to grow drought-resistant crops and practice hands-on farming in school gardens.
Peacebuilding and Social Cohesion
We promote dialogue, reconciliation, and trauma healing among communities affected by resource-based conflicts. Our peace initiatives engage youth, elders, and women in cooperative projects that foster harmony and reduce violence.
Water Access and Sustainability
Addressing water scarcity by supporting clean water access in schools and communities. Promoting sustainable water use, hygiene education, and community-based water management

Feeding the Elderly & School Children
We are restoring dignity to forgotten elders and giving children the energy to stay in school. A single meal means a child doesn’t drop out of class due to hunger.
Climate Change & Tree Maintenance
Where bare, dry land once dominated, we are nurturing living green spaces. Our focus on tree survival means children grow up learning to protect and sustain their environment, creating a greener Turkana.
Agriculture & Food Security for All Turkana
Agriculture is at the heart of resilience in Turkana. We train farmers, families, and youth in climate-smart farming and drought-resistant crop cultivation. We support school gardens to teach children practical farming skills.

Water Access & Sustainability
For families who once walked miles for unsafe water, we are working to bring clean, accessible, and sustainable water solutions. Every borehole or water project reduces disease, improves hygiene, and restores hope.
