Welthungerhilfe is one of the largest Non-Governmental aid agencies in Germany providing long term development assistance projects. Welthungerhilfe has supported Kenyan development organizations since its establishment in 1962. It has had an office in Nairobi since its registration as an NGO operating in Kenya since 1993. Geographically, Welthungerhilfe's intervention areas in Kenya have mainly been in the arid and semi-arid zones of Kajiado, Makueni, Kitui, Tana River, Marsabit and Garissa Counties. Most recently in 2012, Welthungerhilfe started implementing interventions in Nairobi County and in 2015 expanded to Kakamega, Vihiga and Siaya Counties as well as Turkana, Wajir and Mandera Counties working with partners. The Kenya Country Programme is also responsible for Welthungerhilfe’s operations in Somalia and Tanzania.
