Built in the north east. Working across two countries.

Omariman Limited was incorporated in Kenya in December 2020: a women owned firm created to give public institutions one partner who can research, build, digitise and document, and then answer for all of it.

Our story

Why one firm, eight practices.

We watched too many public programmes stall in the gaps between specialists: the study finished but nothing built, the building done but never documented, the system delivered but never adopted.

So we assembled the disciplines that programmes actually need under one roof. Since 2020 that model has carried more than 30 assignments for over 15 public institutions across Kenya and Somalia, most of them inside programmes financed by the World Bank, with a combined value above USD 7.2 million.

Our registered office is in Mandera, our operations run from Nairobi, and our field office in Mogadishu serves Federal Government of Somalia programmes. That footprint is deliberate. We work best in the arid counties and recovering regions where delivery is hardest and the need is greatest.

Values

What we refuse to compromise.

01

Integrity

We bid honestly, report honestly and invoice honestly. In public procurement, a clean record is the asset everything else depends on.

02

Rigour

Sampling frames, test certificates, inspection checklists: rigour is not decoration, it is how our clients defend our work to their auditors.

03

Local depth

We speak the languages, know the councils of elders and hire from the communities we serve. Access others negotiate for, we already have.

04

Inclusion

As a women owned firm we build participation of women and marginalised groups into study designs, site teams and community engagement.

05

Delivery

We take on assignments to finish them. Every engagement is scoped against a handover from day one, not an invoice schedule.

06

Partnership

We work as an extension of the client's team, transferring skills and systems so results outlive the contract.

Leadership

Directors who stay close to the work.

Omariman is led by its owners. Directors sit in inception meetings, visit sites and sign off deliverables personally.

Our method

Four disciplines, every assignment.

01

Listen

Inception and design

Programme documents read, sites walked, stakeholders heard. We agree what done looks like in writing before mobilising.

02

Build

Mobilisation and delivery

Work moves on a resourced plan with weekly milestone reporting, so surprises surface while they are still cheap to fix.

03

Verify

Evidence and assurance

Deliverables are tested and inspected against specification, with photo, data and document trails a client can audit years later.

04

Hand over

Reporting and transfer

Final reports, as built records, training and manuals transfer ownership cleanly to the people who will run the results.

Milestones

Five years of finishing what we start.
