A better future for Kuresoi South.
Kuresoi Bora Initiative, founded and chaired by Dominic Kiprotich, partners with residents, government and organisations to improve farming, schools, health and roads.
Dominic Kiprotich
Chairman and Founder, Kuresoi Bora Initiative
Dominic is a nutrition scientist, university lecturer and farmer. He teaches in the Department of Food, Nutrition and Dietetics at Kabarak University, and has spent years researching and running programmes that improve health in communities.
On his own farm he has tried new ways of growing potatoes, the main cash crop in Kuresoi South, so he knows the work, the cost and the risk that farming families carry. He founded Kuresoi Bora Initiative to turn good ideas into practical, shared action, and is seeking to serve as Member of Parliament for Kuresoi South.
A word from Dominic
Kuresoi South is a place of hardworking people and rich land. Yet too many families still struggle to earn fairly from their farms, to keep their children in school, to reach a clinic that is close and stocked, or to travel on a road that stays open in the rains.
I started Kuresoi Bora Initiative because these problems will not wait. I will listen first, bring the right partners to the table, work openly, and report back to you on what has been done.
As a farmer, I know the effort that goes into every harvest. As a nutrition lecturer, I know how much a well-fed child and a healthy family can achieve. Let us build a better Kuresoi together.

The plan for Kuresoi
Six areas of work, delivered with partners. Select any to read more.
Agriculture
Better yields. Fairer prices.
The challenge
Farming, and potatoes in particular, is the main source of income for many families in Kuresoi. Farmers carry high input costs, face unpredictable weather and often depend on middlemen to reach buyers, so a good harvest does not always become a good income.
What we will do
- Run farmer field days and demonstrations on better potato practices such as quality seed, soil care and safe storage, together with agricultural experts.
- Help farmers form or strengthen groups and cooperatives so they can buy inputs together and sell together.
- Connect farmers with buyers, processors and market information.
- Encourage diverse, nutritious crops so households eat well while earning from the farm.
Who we will work with
- County agriculture officers
- Research institutions
- Farmer groups and cooperatives
- Agribusiness firms
- Universities
Education
Every learner supported.
The challenge
Many families struggle with fees, learning materials and the distance to good schools. Capable young people miss opportunities simply because information and support did not reach them.
What we will do
- Hold bursary clinics that help families understand and apply for the bursaries and support schemes already available.
- Organise mentorship and career talks with lecturers, professionals and graduates.
- Work with school boards and partners to identify urgent needs such as classrooms, books and nutrition, and bring support to them.
- Promote school feeding and nutrition education so children are ready to learn.
Who we will work with
- Schools and school boards
- County education office
- Universities and TVET colleges
- Bursary funds
- Education organisations
Healthcare
Healthy families, closer care.
The challenge
Reaching a well-stocked facility can mean a long journey. Many conditions, from poor nutrition to eye problems and chronic illness, are found late because screening and health education rarely reach villages.
What we will do
- Host community health and screening days with qualified partners, including eye screening and nutrition checks.
- Teach practical nutrition and healthy living at schools, churches, markets and farmer meetings.
- Help residents understand and use national health insurance so cost is less of a barrier to care.
- Support community health promoters and speak up for stocked, staffed facilities.
Who we will work with
- Nakuru County health office
- Hospitals and clinics
- Community health promoters
- Health organisations
Infrastructure
Roads, water and power that work.
The challenge
Poor roads raise the cost of getting produce to market and children to school. Reliable clean water and electricity remain uneven across the wards.
What we will do
- Work with residents in each ward to map and rank the roads, water points and market needs that matter most.
- Take these documented priorities to the right county and national agencies, and publish what was asked and what was answered.
- Support community water and small infrastructure projects through partners who can fund and build them.
- Follow public budgets and projects so residents know what has been allocated for their area.
Who we will work with
- County government
- National agencies
- Water service providers
- Community groups
- Development partners
Good governance
Open, accountable, with the people.
The challenge
Residents often do not know what budgets exist, what has been promised or how to take part in decisions. Trust grows when information is shared and commitments are tracked.
What we will do
- Hold regular open forums in all four wards where residents can question, suggest and be heard.
- Help people take part in public participation on county and national budgets, explained in plain language.
- Publish what we raise, what we spend and what we achieve, and keep our records open to scrutiny.
- Share regular progress reports so every commitment can be checked.
Who we will work with
- Residents and community groups
- Civic education organisations
- Media
- Oversight bodies
Youth and women
Skills, income and a seat at the table.
The challenge
Many young people and women have energy and ideas but lack capital, skills, networks and information on the opportunities that exist.
What we will do
- Run skills and mentorship programmes in farming, business, digital work and trades with training partners.
- Help youth and women form savings and enterprise groups and understand available government and partner funds.
- Teach financial literacy and support value addition for farm produce.
- Create safe, welcoming spaces where women and young people lead and speak.
Who we will work with
- TVET colleges
- Youth and women groups
- SACCOs and financial institutions
- County government programmes
- Partner organisations
