Projects come and go with specific funding cycles, but RODI Kenya’s interventions stay. Rooted in 35+ years of grassroots impact, our core interventions provide the permanent foundation for human dignity, agroecological food sovereignty, and restorative justice.
Enhanced equitable food security and climate resilience of target communities by supporting their transition to agroecological food systems that sequester carbon, improve water efficiency, and guarantee toxin-free food production.
Continuous practical training in low-cost, climate-resilient organic agriculture, bio-intensive techniques, organic pest management, and seed sovereignty, tailored specifically for women, youth, and persons with disabilities.

Leveraging on-the-ground experience to advocate for progressive restorative justice, prison reform, and agroecology policies at national and county legislative levels.
Generating evidence-based data, documenting best practices, and calculating Social Return on Investment (SROI) with active beneficiary participation.
Dismantling social stigma against ex-offenders, amplifying the voices of underserved smallholder farmers, and mobilizing public support for climate justice.
Gender Equality and Social Inclusion: ensuring women, youth, ex-offenders, and persons with disabilities share equitable decision-making and economic benefits.
“WE BELIEVE THAT: If we empower vulnerable groups (ex-offenders, youth, refugees, and smallholder farmers) with agroecological, vocational, and entrepreneurship skills, provide them with restorative justice and legal protection, and ensure their physical and psychosocial well-being; supported by robust research, favorable policy advocacy, and inclusive governance (GESI);
THEN: These individuals will successfully reintegrate into society, achieve economic independence, and become custodians of environmental and community health;
LEADING TO: A reduction in crime and recidivism, increased food sovereignty, and a sustained food-sovereign, healthy, and socially just society.”
