NapKenya (Njarange Area Project Kenya) began in April 1991 as an informal pastoral care and development initiative by Rev. & Mrs. M. M. Nthukah in response to the calling to serve God and the needy communities as well as a deep concern for the poor in Njarange village and other villages in the Arid and Semi Arid Lands (ASAL) of Kenya. Within the years the latter initiative grew in terms of organizational legitimacy, areas of operation and beneficiary, nature of the community programmes and projects, General administration and management, partners and its multi-purpose concerns.
The organization is now a registered Kenyan National Non Governmental Organization as from 9 September 1999 (Reg. No. OP218/051/97140/966) and in the year 2001 was registered as a Charity using the same name in England and Wales (Reg. No. 1085415).
The main aim of the NGO is to facilitate the holistic transformational development initiatives started and undertaken by the poor and marginalized village community (people, animals and environment). The current initiatives are facilitated through the five community programmes identified as: Education and Population; Agriculture, Water and Environment; Community Health; Micro Finance and finally the Welfare and Relief.
The preferred operation local areas are within the needy villages of the five Districts namely: Mbeere, Meru South, Isiolo, Mwingi and Tharaka in the Eastern Province of Kenya. Due to the limitation of monetary and technical resources the current NAPKENYA operations are in Mbeere (Evurore & Mwea Division), Meru South (Locations: Rubate, Kamwimbi and Kiera South) and Isiolo (Location: Ngaremala and 2 Manyatta at Archers Post) Districts. The total population benefiting from the ongoing programmes is about 40 000 people.
Nature, poverty and HIV Aids combine to make life difficult for the people of Njarange (ASAL) Area Kenya. The rural marginalized People, Animals and Environment of Njarange area (Arid and Semi arid areas) experience all the disadvantages of poverty, isolation and disintegration. The support of Community development and Welfare Relief projects with money, technical skills and equipment can make a huge difference to the way people can handle the difficulties they face.
