Posted on Google Ibrahim Ambale Caritas Marsabit is a highly committed faith-based organization working tirelessly to improve the well-being of vulnerable communities across Marsabit County and the wider ASAL region. Their work in resilience building, livelihoods support, WASH, disaster preparedness, and emergency response has had a meaningful and lasting impact on households facing chronic vulnerabilities. The organization demonstrates strong community presence, professionalism, and deep understanding of local contexts. Their staff are dedicated and work closely with communities and partners to ensure interventions are relevant, inclusive, and sustainable. Caritas Marsabit continues to play a critical role in strengthening community resilience and supporting long-term development in one of Kenya’s most challenging environments. I highly commend their work and recommend them as a trusted and impactful development partner.Posted on Google Jarso Wario The best caring organization for humanityPosted on Google Jarso Chumma (Abu'Maryam wa'Yahya) Indeed CRS do extend their hands to everybody around particularly the Nomadic peoplePosted on Google JOHN MAINA The NGO in Marsabit with a solid purpose of helping the deserving in societyPosted on Google Philip Ngunjiri Was there for enquiries. 👍
