Sustainable Empowerment Models for Rural Pastoral Communities in Kenya

Abstract This paper presents a model sustainable empowerment system for rural communities in developing countries to improve the socioeconomic situation and provide education to support knowledge warriors. This model acts as a bridge between the needs of communities and the operations of International NPO/NGO. To justify the model, participatory field studies were conducted at a local non-profit organization in Kenya. My research revealed the following: 1) In successful projects, the efficiency of limited local resources, such as people and goods, is maximized. 2) The process of community training or awareness is the most influential key in maintaining a sustainable empowerment system.
