A Kenyan NGO building resilient agricultural communities
Agrilink Empowerment Network (ALEN) is a Kenyan non-profit working with smallholder farmers, rural communities, women, and youth on sustainable agriculture, environmental conservation, water and sanitation, and clean energy.
We believe resilient communities come from managing resources well and including everyone in that work. That's why ALEN connects people, ideas, and partnerships to drive change in agriculture across Kenya.
