What a Website Does for a Kenyan NGO
Donors, from Kenyan companies to foundations overseas, look your organisation up online before giving a single shilling. An NGO website in Kenya is your proof that you can be trusted. With one you can:
- Share annual reports and impact figures in the open
- Bring in volunteers and partner organisations
- Apply for grants, since most applications ask for a website
- Take donations online through M-Pesa or PayPal
- Tell stories from the communities you work with
Picking a Domain for Your NGO
A .or.ke domain is Kenya's official extension for non-profit organisations, and it shows donors and partners that you are legitimate. If you work closely with partners abroad, the international .org is a good alternative.
Pages to Build First
- Home: your mission stated plainly, with your impact numbers
- About: history, team, governance and registration details
- Programmes: what you do and where you do it
- Reports: annual reports and photo galleries
- Donate: M-Pesa and bank details
- News and blog
- Contact
