About ADS North Rift
Our identity
The Church’s development arm in the North Rift.
Anglican Development Services North Rift brings the Anglican Church of Kenya’s commitment to human dignity into everyday community life.
We work within Eldoret Diocese, Kapsabet Diocese, Kitale Diocese, Kapenguria Diocese and Lodwar Missionary Area, translating the Church’s commitment to holistic human development into community-centred programmes and partnerships.
ADS-NRR maintains its own organisational identity, governance and operational management while remaining connected to the Church and accountable to its stakeholders.
Our Christian faith shapes our service to people of all faiths and backgrounds. Communities lead the process: identifying their priorities, using their strengths and working with us towards lasting change.
Our place in the Anglican family
Community voice and local knowledge inform how programmes are designed and delivered.
Church and development
One commitment to wholesome and dignified living.
For the Anglican Church, caring for people includes their spiritual, social and material wellbeing. Anglican Development Services gives practical expression to that commitment through community development.
