About Friends of Kenya
Friends of Kenya/Marafiki Wa Kenya (FOK) is a non-profit organization that seeks to strengthen the ties between Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) who served in Kenya and their country of service. Top priority FOK activities include grant making to Kenyan nonprofits, educating members about Kenya, and hosting events that feature Kenyan visitors to the United States. In the past two decades, FOK has contributed more than $60,000 in assistance to some 80 projects in the East African country.
Kenya RPCVs and staff founded FOK in 1986, following the 25th Anniversary Conference of returned volunteers, to reaffirm their commitment to the ideals and goals that first drew them to the Peace Corps. Affiliated with the National Peace Corps Association, FOK membership is open to anyone who shares its goals and interest in Kenya. FOK is a 501(c)(3) organization, so all contributions are fully tax-deductible.
