Welcome to Grassroots Trust

A baseline survey conducted in September 2009 seeking answers to highest incidences of poverty in Kisumu gave birth to formation of Grassroots Trust which is a non-profit making organization working with the urban and rural poor.

Affordable housing

Adequate and affordable housing

This right to adequate and affordable housing is often violated with impunity and rarely treated as a human right and instead as a private business (Commoditized).

Community Outreach

Organizing for change

Grassroots Trust is involved in organizing for change. It is dedicated to the empowerment and transformation of the grassroots poor through community organization and training

Access to information

Technology Resource Centers

Residents of informal settlements especially women, have less access to ICT and vital information and are thus underrepresented in decision making platforms.
