Summary

As the climate crisis intensifies and aid cuts hit hard, our communities in Kericho county need resilience. Extremes in weather threatens livelihoods as primary source of income is cash crops. Households rely on what they grow to feed the family. Aid cuts to healthcare are devastating and threaten life. This impacts entire communities, economies and future generations. Our programmes can strengthen and build resilience to combat this. We need your solidarity to make a difference and save lives.

Challenge

This is about real people - parents, children, entire communities being abandoned. Families forced into impossible choices, to choose between food and medicine, between education and survival. Girls face school dropout and early marriage. Youth face a future without opportunity. Mothers and babies survival is jeopardised. Rising costs and threats to livelihoods push families into poverty. With communities under threat, existing gender inequities deepen, leading to increased gender-based violence

Solution

Building climate resilience is vital to protect health & ensure equity for all. Training volunteers as Climate Change Ambassadors empowers communities with skills to adapt, survive and thrive. Training Community Health Promoters strengthens health systems and brings healthcare to the most marginalised. Providing business start-up resources & education enable diversified livelihoods for youth and adults. Challenging taboos and talking about Sexual Reproductive Health & Rights addresses inequities

Long-Term Impact

Health, opportunity, security, stability - these are not luxuries for the few, but rights for all. By building resilience and strengthening communities in Kenya, we strengthen the world we share. Where health is strengthened, stability endures. Where livelihoods are secure, opportunity grows with them. Where education thrives, new ideas take flight. When communities in Kenya thrive, the world becomes stronger for us all - because our futures are deeply and undeniably connected together.
