COSDEP Kenya — turning harvests into income

The problem

COSDEP does the kind of grassroots work — sustainable agriculture, value addition, kitchen gardening — that donors and partners fund when they can see it. But without a strong, credible web presence, that story wasn't reaching the people who could support it or the communities who could benefit.

My approach

I designed a clean, mission-first site that leads with the work: programmes, projects and clear ways to get involved, anchored by a strong 'Turning harvests into income' hero and prominent donate paths. It's built on a fast Next.js stack with all content in one editable source, so the team can keep it current without a developer.

How it's built

  • Next.js 16 App Router with static export — fast, secure, cheap to host.
  • Programmes, projects and get-involved sections driven by a typed content model.
  • Prominent donate and partnership calls-to-action throughout the journey.
  • SEO, Open Graph, sitemap and JSON-LD so the mission is discoverable.

Highlights

  • A mission-first layout that puts programmes and impact front and centre.
  • Fast, mobile-first experience for a largely mobile Kenyan audience.
  • Clear donate and get-involved paths to convert visitors into supporters.
