Wholesome & Dignified Living — serving Kenya’s North Rift
Our Anglican roots
ADS means Anglican Development Services. We are the Anglican Church of Kenya’s development arm in the North Rift and part of the wider ADS Kenya network.
Our Christian faith calls us to care for the whole person. We put that commitment into practice with communities through food security, clean water, health, livelihoods and peacebuilding, serving people of all faiths and backgrounds.
How the Church and our work connectLocal knowledge. Lasting change.
Communities identify priorities, make decisions and lead action. Our PoP approach supports them to own their development.
We connect practical solutions across livelihoods, climate, health, WASH and humanitarian response.
Church, community, government and development partners work together for accountable results.
