Who we are
From crisis response to lasting resilience
Founded in 2019 and based in Maralal, SATCD works with pastoral and agro-pastoral communities as the designers of their own development, so they can anticipate shocks rather than only respond to them.
Forecast-based programming
Early warning and anticipatory action before shocks hit.
Locally led and participatory
Communities set the priorities and shape every intervention.
Systems, not symptoms
Tackling the root causes of poverty across health, livelihoods and governance.
