Policy Plan 2025

Who we are

FractionForFuture is an independent foundation based on a simple belief: when people, animals, and the environment thrive together, communities become resilient. Our work starts in Marafa, Kenya, where we co-create practical, small-scale projects that directly respond to local needs.

We follow the One Health principle — the idea that human health, animal health, and environmental health are deeply interconnected. Every project we initiate touches at least one of these dimensions. Often, it touches all three.

What we do

We don’t bring in ready-made solutions. We listen. We test. We adjust. We work hand-in-hand with teachers, children, farmers, church leaders, and local professionals. From menstrual health to organic waste conversion, our projects grow from the ground up.

Our impact is visible in the daily lives of people — in classrooms, farms, and water systems. And with every step, we ask: how does this serve the health of people, animals, and the environment?

Our projects, through the lens of One Health

AFRIpads Project – Dignity and access for schoolgirls

Human Health | Environmental Health
In January 2025, we partnered with AFRIpads to distribute 60 reusable menstrual kits to schoolgirls at Kotayo Comprehensive Secondary School. What started with 800 disposable pads became a sustainable solution with a two-year lifespan — reducing school absenteeism and offering dignity. This initiative directly supports girls’ education and well-being, while reducing plastic waste in the local environment.

Marafa Community Survey Project – Listening before acting

Human Health | Environmental Health
To build the right projects, we needed the right insights. We distributed 100 surveys in English and Swahili across schools and church communities in Marafa. These revealed urgent needs in sanitation, waste management, water access, and more — forming the basis of our next steps. Listening is a cornerstone of health, especially when solutions must fit the community’s reality.

Irene’s Pig Farm – Better care, better food

Animal Health | Human Health
Irene’s pig farm began with 14 malnourished pigs and no proper infrastructure. Together with local fundis and veterinary experts, we rebuilt the pens, improved drainage, and introduced a structured feeding system. We also provided training for local farmers on animal care and disease prevention. The result: healthier pigs, safer meat, and stronger food security in the region.

Black Soldier Fly Farm – From waste to feed

Environmental Health | Animal Health | Human Health
This circular solution converts organic waste into high-protein insect-based feed. Located at St. Joseph the Worker (Catholic Diocese of Malindi), this farm reduces dependency on imported wheat bran and addresses both animal nutrition and waste management. With guidance from BSF expert Victor Osage and community advisor Father Peter Ndegwa, we will train youth in BSF technology and build toward long-term food security — without harming the land.

Demonstration Farm – Growing food, conserving soil

Environmental Health | Human Health
We built a farm to teach local farmers how to grow food sustainably. With 1,000 fruit trees, water-efficient irrigation, and soil conservation training, this model farm helps communities adapt to climate pressures and reclaim agency over their land. It’s about food, but it’s also about dignity, adaptation, and balance with nature.

Sports Field – Moving toward mental and physical well-being

Human Health
144 children in St. Joseph the Worker Primary School had no place to play. So we built one — with football goals, volleyball nets, and climbing structures. Physical activity is essential to children’s development and mental health. The field now serves as a daily source of joy and movement.

School Desks – Education with dignity

Human Health
With the introduction of Grade 7, more students needed a place to learn. We worked with a local craftsman to build 30 school desks with lockers, ensuring children could learn comfortably and securely. This was more than infrastructure; it was a vote of confidence in their future.

Book Shipment – Knowledge without borders

Human Health
In partnership with Biblionef and BeNe Gambia, we shipped 800 books — 400 to Sint Maarten and 400 to The Gambia. These included medical textbooks and literature, helping reduce the educational resource gap. Though this project didn’t reach Marafa due to geopolitical challenges, it embodied our commitment to learning as a form of health.

Wheat Bran Project – Bridging toward sustainability

Animal Health
Before launching the BSF farm, we supplied Irene’s farm with monthly wheat bran deliveries for one year. This temporary solution ensured pigs received proper nutrition while the long-term model was being developed — a bridge between old and new.

Our vision

We believe communities don’t need to be saved — they need to be heard. FractionForFuture exists to amplify local voices and support what’s already growing. We aim to be present, not permanent. And we see our role as facilitators of ownership, not implementers of foreign solutions.

Our vision is to expand this approach slowly, step by step, always with community leadership at the center and One Health as our compass.

Our organization

Founded in November 2024, FractionForFuture is led by a small board with complementary backgrounds:

Board members serve voluntarily. However, volunteers and project staff can receive compensation, based on their contribution and funding availability.

Remuneration Policy

FractionForFuture is governed by a voluntary board. Board members receive no financial compensation for their roles, aside from possible reimbursement of direct expenses incurred in service of the foundation. This reflects our commitment to transparency, stewardship, and mission-driven work.

At present, the foundation has no paid staff. However, as our projects grow, volunteers, project partners, or future employees may receive fair compensation in alignment with their contribution, expertise, and the available budget. Any remuneration will be guided by principles of proportionality, transparency, and alignment with the foundation’s values and financial means.

We ensure that all funds are used responsibly, with priority given to the direct support of our community-led initiatives.

Finances and accountability

FractionForFuture is open to support from a wide range of donors — including private individuals, businesses, foundations, schools, and government institutions — as long as the values align and the funding allows us to remain true to our mission.

We use all donations transparently and effectively, with 100% of project funds directed toward local implementation. We prepare an annual financial report that provides a clear overview of our income, expenses, and impact. Donors, partners, and stakeholders are always welcome to request additional insight or updates.

Our priority is to make sure that every contribution — large or small — directly strengthens the work we do together with communities on the ground.

Our partners

Our strength lies in the people we walk alongside:

We believe lasting change comes from co-ownership. That means everyone is part of the process — not just beneficiaries, but decision-makers.

Closing statement

The world doesn’t need more short-term solutions. It needs patient, thoughtful action that respects the complexity of life. That’s what we commit to. We start small. We test. We grow. And we do it together.

Because every fraction creates a future.
