Fundraising Without Foreign Donors: 7 Proven Local Strategies For Kenyan NGOs and Churches
Fundraising Without Foreign Donors is a bold call to action for Kenyan NGOs, churches, and community organizations to break free from the cycle of dependency and embrace financial independence.
In this groundbreaking guide, Prof. David Ochieng presents seven proven, locally tested strategies—from harnessing community giving and SACCOs, to building business partnerships, tapping into diaspora dollars, running social enterprises, and leveraging digital giving platforms.
Through real-life stories, practical frameworks, and step-by-step action plans, the book shows how Kenyan organizations can thrive using resources already within their reach.
More than a fundraising manual, it is a movement toward dignity, sustainability, and ownership of our future.
Whether you are a pastor, NGO leader, youth organizer, or community mobilizer, this book will inspire you to say with confidence: “We are not beggars. We are builders.”

locally to start construction. This gave us hope
again.”

This book opened my eyes
“For years, our hospital outreach
programs depended on foreign grants that would
vanish overnight. This book opened my eyes to
how much support exists right here at home.
Today, local businesses sponsor our clinics, and
