The Ronnie Fund

Case overview

The Ronnie Fund is a grassroots nonprofit initiative inspired by Ronnie Mwachia Mdawida’s vision to uplift communities in Wongonyi, Taita Taveta County, and beyond. What began as a simple idea has evolved into a powerful movement improving lives through programs focused on healthcare, education, clean water, environmental sustainability, and food security. The organization needed a digital presence that could reflect its heartfelt mission, connect with supporters, and scale its impact globally.

The Brief

  • Feature ongoing projects and donation opportunities.

  • Provide easy navigation for donors, volunteers, and local partners.

  • Reflect the organization’s grassroots spirit while maintaining a clean, professional design.

  • Be accessible, responsive, and easy to manage from their end.
