Who We Are

Union for Poverty Alleviation and Management Organization (UPAMO) Is a local NGO registered and working in Kenya.
UPAMO is a non-profit, non-governmental organization committed to Ecological Agriculture, use of clean energy and protection of the environment through research and implementation of specific activities in Kisii County, Kenya. A group of development workers and local people came together with the idea of looking for solutions to the challenges of poverty and climate change afflicting the local community. As a result, UPAMO was formed in November 2013, to work with the grassroots-level community.
UPAMO was established to solve environmental and social problems such as the adverse impacts of climate change, unsustainable use of natural resources, drinking water crisis, biodiversity destruction, increasing uses of dirty energy, gender inequity and human rights violation.
UPAMO has been working on Environment; Climate Change Adaptation; Clean/Solar Energy; Livelihood; Gender Development; Health & Sanitation and Women and Child Rights since 2015.
Our Field Offices are at Nyabisabo Market, Kisii County, Kenya.
