Mission

BOMA is a nonprofit registered in Kenya and the USA, headquartered in Nairobi. We are focused on the economic empowerment of women, young people, refugees, and internally displaced people (IDP). BOMA works in last-mile communities to support the launch and growth of small enterprises, build vocational skills, facilitate financial inclusion, and help vulnerable and marginalized individuals and households graduate from extreme poverty by building sustainable livelihoods and resilience to multiple crises. BOMA is a leading implementer of the poverty graduation approach and Economic Inclusion programming across the drylands of seven African countries. By the end of 2024 BOMA will have transformed the lives of over one million individuals across Africa, particularly in vulnerable and remote communities in the dryland regions. Our ultimate goal is not just to have an impact; it is to achieve true systems change by embedding the resilience-building approach into national social protection and humanitarian systems.
