Kenya Voluntary Development Association (KVDA) is an indigenous, non-political and membership organization which is
non-sectarian and non-profit making started in 1962 as a work camp organization registered under the Societies’ Act. In 1993,
KVDA was registered as a Non-Governmental organization by the establishment of the NGOs Coordination Act.
Its main purpose is to promote peace, understanding, justice, development, and information exchange among Kenyans and
within the international community. KVDA also seeks to promote inter-cultural education, international peace, inter-human
understanding and solidarity as well as sustainable community development through voluntary service; the phrase
“Development against Dependence” captures KVDA’s philosophy
KVDA works in partnership with local communities to champion their own development without imposition of values. Local
people everywhere are the masters of their own destiny and efforts must be made by all to harness this great potential.
Volunteers have specific roles to play in very difficult circumstances dictated by deprivation and impoverishment and they
must guard against attempts to imagine that they can offer magic solutions to the myriad of development challenges
encountered at the grassroots.
The voluntary service project offers the volunteer the unique opportunity to be part of the transformative process to stimulate
the local community to reinforce their work ethic. Volunteers are not experts but people driven by the selfless desire to
strengthen solidarity among the needy communities and ensure their active participation in the development process.

community
Mission: KVDA aims to Mobilizing all-purpose resources to support community development initiatives
