Recognition in Kenya & the US
Verified. Awarded. Trusted.
Being recognized is not the goal — but it is the result of doing the work with integrity. GDP has earned independent recognition from Kenya’s NGO Coordination Board, US nonprofit watchdogs, and donor communities who have seen the work firsthand. You are part of an organization that Kenya is beginning to know by name.
Candid Platinum Seal
Awarded to the top tier of US nonprofits for maximum transparency in financials, leadership, and strategy. Fewer than 1 in 10 nonprofits achieve this level — GDP has held it two consecutive years.
