Agile Plan to Integrated Resilience (APIR Turkana) mobilizes vulnerable and marginalized communities into dignified, self-reliant lives — through equity, resilience and total participation.
APIR Turkana is a non-profit, non-partisan, non-racial and non-sectarian organization dedicated to transforming lives through the social and economic empowerment of girls, women and youth.
Founded in 2004 as a Community-Based Organization and re-registered in 2017, we work directly with marginalized communities — addressing poverty, illiteracy, conflict, drought, healthcare access and harmful cultural practices as the ongoing emergencies they are.
We tackle not just the symptoms but the root causes — so no one is left behind.
Our programs prioritize inclusivity and fairness — guided by human rights-based approaches, core humanitarian standards and gender-sensitive frameworks.
We address the root causes of crises and improve the personal agency of girls and women through food, medical and relief interventions.
Through social audits and accountability mechanisms, we promote active engagement in health, education, WASH and governance.
Each area contributes to fostering resilience, equity and inclusivity for the most vulnerable in Turkana County.
