There exists many people endeavoring to do just as you are, though one might add that there are not quite enough people with institutional knowledge about, to say the least, the political economy involved, which appears to go deeper than the African model of aid as administered today.
There is a Zambian economist, born in Lusaka, that may be capable of sharing additional ideas on your undertaking in that she may provide for you additional questions that many researchers do not know are essential questions to ask without which one stands to face considerable obstructions. She can at least donate inside knowledge in ways that non-Africans simply have not considered.
Her name is Dambisa Moyo, who came out of Oxford University with a Ph.D. in Economics and was conferred a master's degree from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government; she wrote a book titled 'Dead Aid', published this year, 2009. According to Moyo, the problems that Africa has confronted rests with misplaced intentions brought on by both negligence by outsiders, though often well-intended; and second, misjudgement by insiders, who along with outsiders have protracted the conditions inside Africa, much of which mistakes she feels is due to the lack of education and surplus of greed, and that the peoples of the varied African countries should benefit best and first where proceeding toward amassing self-sufficiencies.
She shares an incisive if whole different point of view with respect to donations and aid as regards the plights of African peoples. Maybe you might contact her publicist or the publishers themselves. In addition, check with the American embassy for Kenya and the American U.N. ambassadorship for Kenya. Last, check with the American foundations, which support and sponsor many PBS programs. Many of these are the charitable foundations that finance programs like NOVA and the myriad social-culture related critical issues that the world is faced with.
And of course, you have heard of Conservation International (CI). But one thing might be said: such an outfit as CI is focused on the same concerns and may well be vying for monies as well from these selfsame foundations.
Still another is ... 'Bioresources Development and Conservation Programme' ... http://www.bioresources.org ... it is an African organization proper.Where can i get donors willing to support community conservation projects in Africa?.?Try contacting the wildlife institute of india. They do similar projects in India and can help you with sponsorship ideas.
I just saw an article on Kenya today in The Hindu but originally from the Guardian-it might be of interest to you.
