Resource Mobilization Manager
Who Are We
Founded in 2015 as a community-based organization in Western Kenya, the Center for Rural Empowerment and Agricultural Transformation for Sustainability (Creats International) was established by a group of young and passionate community members determined to address the pressing challenges of poverty, hunger, and gender inequality in rural Kenya. Creats International dismantles the social, cultural, and economic barriers that hold marginalized communities, especially women and youth, from thriving through inclusive rural industrialization, food security, climate resilience, and women-led entrepreneurship.
Our Approach
At Creats International, relationship-building is at the heart of everything we do. We foster strong connections with marginalized individuals and communities to gain a deeper understanding of their beliefs, aspirations, and challenges. With this insight, we equip marginalized communities with practical tools such as agricultural inputs, market linkages, and access to clean water and financial resources. Our goal is to empower people to design their lives, take charge of their futures, and become active contributors to their communities.
What Makes Us Unique
Our grassroots approach to development sets us apart. We prioritize giving marginalized communities a voice and a seat at the decision-making table. This inclusive approach ensures that the solutions we implement are context-specific, sustainable, and resilient.
