Every year on 19th August, the world pauses to honor humanitarian workers who dedicate their lives to serving others, often going above and beyond to improve lives and restore dignity. At ADS North Rift, this day carries a very personal meaning because it gives us a chance to celebrate our very own staff, who embody true humanitarian spirit every single day.
Humanity in Action
Our staff are more than employees. They are servant leaders, stewards of trust, and champions of transformation. Whether walking with farmers in the fields, empowering families with improved food security, or strengthening communities through savings and self-reliance, their work is a living expression of humanitarian values.
For us, humanitarian work is not only about responding to crises. It is about walking alongside communities with integrity, accountability, and compassion, building resilience and creating opportunities for generations to thrive.
Living Our Core Values
At ADS North Rift, everything we do is guided by our values:
Servant Leadership – putting people first, walking with communities hand in hand.
Integrity – ensuring that our work reflects honesty and fairness at every step.
Stewardship – managing resources responsibly for maximum community impact.
Honesty – building trust through openness and sincerity.
Transparency and Accountability – ensuring that every action reflects responsibility to those we serve.
Our staff live these values daily, in farms, in villages, in training centers, and in boardrooms. Their dedication is the reason families can access nutritious food, women can lead savings groups with dignity, and young people can find hope in agriculture and enterprise.
Stories of Impact
From harvesting orange-fleshed sweet potatoes in Elgeyo Marakwet County, to guiding women through savings groups in West Pokot, to supporting farmers with climate-smart agriculture across the North Rift, our staff are at the heart of every transformation story.
Behind each field visit, training session, and community gathering are men and women who quietly and tirelessly serve, ensuring no one is left behind.
