Power for the People

What Power for the People does

Power for the People (PFP) is a UK-registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), Charity Number 1162330, founded in 2015 with a registered office at 10 Sword Street, Paddock Wood, England. The organisation delivers community-based sustainable development projects spanning three programmatic pillars — healthcare access, education, and economic opportunity — for vulnerable populations in East Africa. PFP operates across six field locations in three countries: the Arise Centre, Remba Island, Osupukiai, and Endebess in Kenya; Agago in Uganda; and Longido in Tanzania. Specific initiatives include the Arise Pads sanitary products programme for women and girls at the Arise Centre, poultry farming and agricultural projects on Remba Island, and adolescent health and wellbeing programmes.

PFP operates a donation-driven nonprofit business model rather than a technology product model. The organisation has no commercial product, no proprietary software platform, no mobile app, no published API, and no AI components. Its underlying technology footprint is limited to a Wix-hosted public website (pfpglobal.org), social media channels on Facebook (pfpcharity), Instagram (@pfp_charity) and LinkedIn (pfpcharity), and a third-party donation collection page hosted on the GoodHub giving platform. Revenue flows from individual donations, sponsored challenges, community fundraisers, and passive income via the easyfundraising affiliate programme. The organisation has stated that over £20,000 has been raised through the GoodHub platform alone for projects in East Africa and beyond.

The organisation is led by a small, lean management team that includes an Innovations and Partnerships Manager (Caren Okombo) and a Programmes Manager for East Africa (Betty Achieng). PFP raises awareness and funds through volunteer engagement, social media storytelling, and partnerships with entities such as GoodHub (core donation platform), easyfundraising (passive fundraising), the Homa Bay County Government (adolescent health symposium), and RHNK (Pan-African Adolescent & Youth SRHR Scientific Conference). As a registered charity with no parent entity, no commercial ownership, and no disclosed institutional backers, PFP operates entirely on contributed funds and is not an investable equity target in the conventional sense.

Broad incumbents

• WaterAid: WaterAid is a major UK-registered international NGO delivering WASH (water, sanitation, hygiene) programs in East Africa. Comparable as a UK-headquartered community-development charity operating multi-country programs in overlapping geographies, though focused specifically on WASH rather than PFP's diversified verticals.
• ChildFund International: ChildFund International is a large international NGO delivering child- and youth-focused development programs including health, education, and livelihoods across East Africa. Comparable with PFP's youth health and education remit, with overlapping geography in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
• BRAC International: BRAC International delivers poverty-alleviation, microfinance, health, and education programs in East Africa (Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, South Sudan). Comparable in its multi-vertical community development model and rural livelihoods focus, though at vastly larger scale.
• ActionAid International: ActionAid is a large international federation operating rights-based community development and women's empowerment programs across East Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania among others). Overlaps with PFP's healthcare and economic opportunity remit but at significantly larger scale and broader advocacy mandate.
• Concern Worldwide: Concern Worldwide is a large international humanitarian and development NGO with significant East Africa operations (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda) covering livelihoods, health, and education. Comparable as a multi-country, multi-sector community development organization serving similar rural populations.

Direct peers

Strong overlap with PFP's Homa Bay Adolescent Symposium work and youth SRHR programming, serving similar vulnerable rural populations.
• Farm Africa: Farm Africa is a UK-registered charity that delivers sustainable agriculture and economic empowerment programs in East Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia), directly overlapping PFP's geographies and rural livelihoods mission. Comparable in funding model (donor-funded community development) and target beneficiaries (rural smallholder communities).

Emerging players

• SolarAid / SunnyMoney: SolarAid is a UK-registered charity tackling energy poverty through solar distribution in East Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania). Comparable as a UK-domiciled NGO with overlapping East African geographies and community-focused mission, though focused on energy access rather than PFP's diversified verticals.
• Adeso (Africa Development Solutions): Adeso is a Kenya-headquartered international NGO delivering community-led development, food security, and resilience programs primarily in East Africa and the Horn of Africa. Comparable as a smaller, regionally-focused development organization with similar grassroots program delivery model.
