One-Time Donation Recurring Monthly Donation ×Food & Agriculture
While most of Kenya's rural poor grow some of their own food, a lack of resources results in low yields that may feed a family during the harvest seasons, but are not adequate to sustain them year-round or to produce additional income to meet other needs.
Health & Water
Easily preventable diseases, many from the lack of clean drinking water, rob families of their strength and productivity. Simple steps in gaining clean water and basic sanitation as well as access to basic medicines result in dramatic changes within the family and community.
Income Generation
Families need to be able to generate sufficient income to meet daily needs as well as to sustain themselves during times of economic shock. Microloans and other micro-enterprise programs assist families in being able to increase earnings to meet their needs.
Education
Education and training are cornerstones to much of the work we do to end extreme poverty. We conduct training directly and also work with other partner agencies to provide the best opportunities possible. for children, adults, and the community.
