Overview
Mission
The primary mission of the maragoli community development foundation is to assist the maragoli people of western kenya in improving their quality of life through the funding of sustainable development projects that they themselves conceive and implement.

What it reported doing in 2019
Resource center: the resource center in vigetse village is macodef headquarters. Its bricks-and-mortar presence is a highly visible symbol of organizational strength, while the activities hosted there represent the most potent and persistent embodiment of the foundation's mission in the community. It is the site of our administrative office, a laboratory for small-scale pilot efforts of potential development projects, and a training site for participants in ongoing initiatives. A unique community hub for all ages, the resource center continues to provide a gathering place for local students, members of stakeholder groups, and customers for services and agricultural goods that fill local economic niches and help raise funds for projects. O the resource center hosts a library that is frequented by students who are studying to prepare for high-stakes standardized exams, making expensive study guides ("revision books") available to students of all economic means. O it provides internet, computer and printer access ("cyber services"), technologies that are almost completely absent in local homes, as well as a place for the many local folks who lack home electrical services to charge mobile phones, an increasingly crucial tool for communication and banking for kenyans at all levels of income and wealth. O it is a marketplace, where agricultural products are sold. O it is a training center for those who will develop new skills, such as tailoring, and use them in support of development projects. O it is a gathering place for all members of affiliated local stakeholder groups at their annual meeting.
