A Voice for the Marginalized

We work to ensure a life of dignity, equality, and opportunity for pastoralist communities.
About Us

Grounded in local voices, shaping solutions that last

Pastoralists Rights and Advocacy Network (PARANET) is a grassroots led Non-Govermental Oraganization (NGO) founded in 2007 and based in northern Kenya. We work alongside pastoralist communities to defend their rights and improve their access to basic services.

PARANET tackles key issues affecting these communities through focused programs on citizenship, livelihoods, environment, health, and education. 

Our work is grounded in the realities faced by the people we serve and shaped by their voices.
