Who We are
Five Talents Kenya (FTK) is a locally rooted, non – profit making development organization dedicated to transforming lives through economic empowerment and climate resilience. Since 2004, we have worked with underserved populations to build financial inclusion, promote sustainable livelihoods, and restore dignity in communities across Kenya.
By equipping individuals with knowledge and tools, FTK supports long-term self-reliance through trust-based savings groups, enterprise development, and climate-smart practices. We operate through a strategic partnership with the Anglican Church of Kenya, currently active in 15 dioceses and reaching communities in 22 counties.
