About The Ronnie Fund

The Ronnie Fund is a grassroots organization founded in 2006 by Peter and Kathy Wood in partnership with local community leader Ronnie Mwachia Mdawida. Our mission is to empower Kenyan communities through education, healthcare, and sustainable development, offering a “hand up, not a handout.” From establishing local health centers to building sustainable agricultural practices, we work hand-in-hand with communities to create lasting impact.
