Action for Better World Association (ABWA) is a community organisation based in Nairobi, Kenya, founded in 2015. We work with women, young people and children, and with volunteers, on projects around skills, farming, creativity and the environment.
We support community-led projects. Our work includes youth empowerment through art, music and learning support, sustainable vegetable farming and empowerment conversations with women's groups, and environmental action such as tree planting and waste reduction. Our programme pages explain each in more detail.
We're based in Nairobi. Our project plans involve Mathare in Nairobi, Kangundo in Machakos County and Kibwezi in Makueni County. We work where we have built relationships with community groups.
Possibly. Opportunities depend on current projects and on what our community partners want. Send us an enquiry on the Volunteer page and we'll tell you honestly what is available. An enquiry doesn't guarantee a place.
Not through this website. Our information sheets describe work camps of around two weeks, but dates and availability change and we don't take bookings online. Please contact us to ask what is possible right now.
No special qualifications are needed to ask. Skills in teaching, art, music, farming and environmental work are often useful, but curiosity, respect and a willingness to learn matter most.
It depends on the project, and we don't publish prices on this website. We'll explain any costs in writing before you commit, including what they cover.
We're setting up a secure way to give online. Until then, please contact us and we'll share ABWA's official giving details with you directly. Please only give using details confirmed by ABWA.
Use the Partner With Us page to start a conversation. We like to begin by understanding shared goals, and then talk about what a partnership could look like.
We ask for consent before sharing anyone's photo, name or story, and for children we ask for a parent or guardian's consent. We don't share details that could put someone at risk. If you would like something removed, please contact us.
We use it only to reply to you. Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why, and what choices you have.
