Beyond Woodwork And Craft PBO

Who We Are

Beyond Woodwork & Craft PBO is a community-rooted nonprofit organization dedicated to enabling vulnerable youth, women, smallholder farmers, and persons with disabilities to access dignified, sustainable livelihoods through green enterprise, vocational skills, and inclusive community development. Established in 2025, the organization was initially founded to respond to high youth unemployment and social vulnerability in coastal Kenya. It has since evolved into a broader social empowerment platform that also supports rural communities in other regions of Kenya—such as Siaya County in the Lake Victoria Basin—to address intertwined challenges of environmental degradation, climate vulnerability, and shrinking livelihood options. Beyond Woodwork & Craft PBO operates as the social impact and community development arm of a local enterprise ecosystem (including Relim Services and related ventures), which provides technical expertise, infrastructure, and enterprise-linked sustainability models. Our core values are equity, dignity, creativity, environmental stewardship, and inclusion.
