Reimagining development through impact storytelling, data, and systemic action.
What we do
Development Communications Strategy
Good communications does not happen by accident. We work with organisations to develop clear, practical communications strategies that are grounded in their mission and built for their specific audiences. From stakeholder mapping and messaging frameworks to channel strategy and content planning, we help you communicate with intention so every message builds towards something meaningful.
Impact Storytelling & Narrative Development
Your work is creating real change. We help you show it. We translate programme outcomes, data, and community experiences into compelling narratives, impact reports, donor stories, documentary content, digital campaigns, and funding proposals, that build credibility, inspire action, and attract the support your work deserves. Our approach is human-centred and evidence-grounded, because the best stories are both true and powerful.
Philanthropy & Grantmaking Advisory
We support grant makers, foundations, and donors to invest with greater clarity and confidence. Drawing on our experience across Kenya’s civil society sector, we help funders understand the landscape, identify high-potential organisations, and design grant-making approaches that are responsive to local realities. The result is funding that is better targeted, more accountable, and more likely to support lasting change.
Data-Driven Advocacy & Policy Influence
When organisations need to influence policy, shift public narratives, or bring decision-makers on board, communication is the lever. We help you develop the messaging, materials, and engagement strategies needed to make your evidence heard in the right rooms – from policy briefs and position papers to stakeholder campaigns and media engagement.
About Us
Nariel Advisory is a development communications consultancy working with nonprofits and social impact organisations across Kenya and East Africa.
We help organisations communicate their work with clarity, credibility, and purpose so that the right people take notice, funders invest, and communities are meaningfully represented in the stories told about them.
Founded by practitioners with deep roots in civil society, we bring both the strategic thinking and the editorial craft that organisations need to strengthen their voice, grow their visibility, and sustain their impact over the long term.
Our Approach
At Nariel Advisory, we start from a simple belief: great work deserves to be seen, understood, and supported. Across Kenya and East Africa, civil society organisations are doing transformative work, but without the right communications strategy, that work often struggles to reach the funders, partners, and communities it needs to.
We exist to close that gap.
We are not a general consultancy. We are a specialist advisory that combines deep development sector knowledge with editorial craft and strategic thinking. Our work is practical, grounded, and built around your specific context.
How we work:
1. We turn your impact into evidence that resonates
We help organisations move beyond activity reporting to build compelling, evidence-based narratives, the kind that make funders pay attention and stakeholders lean in. From impact stories and documentaries, to donor communications and strategic messaging, we translate what you do into language that lands.
2. We help you reach the right audiences
Visibility without strategy is noise. We help you identify and engage the audiences that matter most, whether that is donors, partners, policymakers, or communities, and design the channels, content, and campaigns to reach them effectively.
3. We build your capacity to sustain your story
A single well-told story is not enough. We work alongside your team to strengthen your communications systems, build internal skills, and develop strategies you can own and sustain long after our engagement ends. We invest in your people, not just your outputs.
The result is not just better communications. It is stronger credibility, deeper engagement, and the kind of sustained visibility that supports long-term growth.
“Real change needs more than funding – it needs alignment. I work with nonprofits and social impact organisations to design communications strategies that unite stakeholders, tell impact stories that inspire action, and build the kind of shared understanding that makes sustainable development possible.” – Natasha Murigu, Team Leader, Nariel Advisory
