Empowering Pastoralist Communities

Welcome to Somal Community Farm Group (SCFG), a community-led organization committed to improving the lives of pastoralist communities across Kenya's Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs). We work alongside local communities, government institutions, and development partners to promote sustainable livelihoods, quality education, healthcare, humanitarian assistance, and social protection.

Pastoralist communities play a vital role in Kenya's economy and cultural heritage. However, they continue to face recurring droughts, climate change, food insecurity, disease outbreaks, limited educational opportunities, and harmful social practices. SCFG was established to address these challenges through practical, community-driven solutions that strengthen resilience, promote inclusion, and create lasting opportunities for future generations.

Why Our Work Matters

Across Kenya's ASAL regions, pastoralist communities face recurring droughts, climate change, food insecurity, livestock losses, limited healthcare services, low school enrolment, harmful traditional practices, water scarcity, and high youth unemployment. SCFG works with communities to address these challenges through sustainable, locally driven solutions that build resilience and improve livelihoods.
