Our Causes

HUNGER AND POVERTY

Poverty and hunger are daily realities for many pastoralist families in Samburu. Frequent droughts and lack of economic opportunities make it difficult for families to provide enough food, let alone thrive. Women, who bear the brunt of these challenges, often sacrifice their own needs for their children. Our programs aim to tackle hunger and poverty by providing food relief, sustainable agriculture training, and economic empowerment initiatives. By equipping women with skills and resources, we help them secure a stable income and build a future free from hunger.

EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty, yet many girls in Samburu are denied the chance to attend school due to early marriages, female genital mutilation (FGM), and household responsibilities. Without education, their potential is untapped, and their futures are limited. We believe that every girl deserves an education, which is why we provide access to literacy programs, vocational training, and scholarships for Samburu women and girls. By educating and training them, we empower them to make informed decisions, secure better jobs, and contribute to their communities.

HUMAN RIGHTS

Women, girls, and people with disabilities in Samburu are often denied basic human rights, facing discrimination, gender-based violence, and social exclusion. These violations rob them of dignity and the opportunity to thrive. By advocating for human rights, we work to protect the most vulnerable, ensuring that every individual has access to education, healthcare, and equal opportunities. Our programs aim to raise awareness, combat gender violence, and promote the rights of people with disabilities, fostering a culture of respect and inclusion in Samburu.

ARTS AND CULTURE

The rich arts and cultural traditions of the Samburu people are at risk of being forgotten due to modernization and the lack of resources. Yet, these traditions are integral to the community's identity and cohesion. Promoting arts and culture among women and youth offers them a platform to express themselves, preserve their heritage, and foster unity. Through cultural events, craft training, and art programs, we can help Samburu women generate income and strengthen their connection to their roots while building pride in their identity.
