Welcome to Ongata Rongai Development Organization. It started in August 2015 when a group of men and women, came together with a mission and vision of alleviating poverty among the affected members of the community. Majority of them are women and children. These are people who are particularly vulnerable to abject poverty in Kenya.Several of the counties in Kenya are witnessing slums mushrooming with many poor people living below poverty line of 1 Dollar per day. Women and children are always the first victims of abject poverty. ORDEPO'S started to address this very issues in Ongata Rongai, Kajiado county.

To help address the problem of acute food shortage in these needy families, ORDEPO was initially giving food donations to them. These were from local well-wishers. The activity however, quickly turned unsustainable. The members embarked on a sustainability project that will empower the women feed their children and possibly make a living.

This is how ORDEPO School of Fashion and Design Project was initiated. The school trains women in tailoring which involves dress making, men clothing, interior design, embroidery and household decorations. These trainees sit governmental tests to graduate. It takes one years for them to sit these exams owing to their availability due to other family commitments. Qualified mothers are expected to open their own shops where they can sell their highly needed services. At the same time, wishes to offer them start-up capital upon successful completion of their respective courses. This will translate to better economic lives. The organization intends to increase the school's number of courses to include; computer packages, catering and beauty and cosmetics. This move is informed by the wishes of the needy mothers who highly need the specific courses' empowerment.

Welcome! Join us and be part of the success stories of these wonderful women.
