Where we work
We have been working on the ground with farming communities in Africa since 1988, adapting our approach and developing our expertise in three key areas of work
Ripple Effect currently has country programmes in Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda, and works in partnership in Zambia.
Burundi
Burundi has an urgent need for development: it is one of the hungriest countries in the world, with 72% of its population food insecure. We have been working here since 2013 and are currently running two projects in Mwaro and Bujumbura Rural centered on nutrition and building resilience to the climate crisis.

Kenya
The remote, underdeveloped Western Province of Kenya is a world apart from its better-known beaches and safari parks. Our work here since 1996 has had a huge impact on thousands of the poorest families. We are currently running four projects focusing on family nutrition and strengthening community structures.

Rwanda
The 1994 genocide left one million people dead in Rwanda, and a legacy of fractured communities and drastically reduced livestock numbers. We have been working here since 2000 and are currently running four projects across eight districts.
