About us

Six decades of walking alongside communities

The development arm of the Anglican Church of Kenya dioceses of Nakuru, Baringo, Maralal and Nyahururu.

Who we are

Faith in action, rooted in community

ADS Central Rift has been running community development programs since 1961 across Nakuru, Baringo, Samburu, Laikipia and Nyandarua counties.

Working through the church's presence in every village, we reach families that others often cannot. Together with partners and county governments, we have reached more than 30,000 households.
