Programme 01

Livelihoods & Empowerment

We mobilise women, youth and persons with disability towards sustainable, self-reliant livelihoods, through skills-building, group organising and consistent follow-up rather than one-off support.

This programme underpins much of our other work: many of the people we reach through health outreach or mentorship go on to join a livelihoods group as a next step.

Who We Prioritise
  • Women heading households
  • Unemployed youth
  • Persons with disability
What Health Days Cover
  • 01

    Basic health checks

    Free blood pressure and general wellbeing screening.

  • 02

    Nutrition guidance

    Practical advice that works within a real household budget.

  • 03

    Hygiene education

    Handwashing and sanitation habits with outsized impact.

Programme 02

Health & Nutrition

Free community health days, partnerships with local health facilities, and household-level nutrition and hygiene education, aimed at closing the gap between knowing what's healthy and being able to act on it.

We run health days on a rotating basis across the neighbourhoods we serve, with particular attention to elderly residents who may not otherwise leave home for a check-up.

Programme 03

Education & Mentorship

A weekly after-school mentorship club and structured youth groups for Kasarani's children, youth and adults, built around consistent, months-long relationships rather than one-off talks.

The same mentor meets the same small group every month, deliberately, because a relationship a young person trusts matters more than a wider but shallower reach.

Current Offerings
  • After-school mentorship club
  • Homework support
  • Life-skills sessions
How We Support Groups
  • 1

    Organise

    Help residents form a merry-go-round or table-banking group.

  • 2

    Train

    Basic record-keeping, costing and business planning.

  • 3

    Support

    Small loans for groups that complete training.

Programme 04

Economic Empowerment

Merry-go-round groups, small business training and modest loans help Kasarani households build income-generating activities on a foundation of basic financial discipline.

We learned early that loans without training rarely last, our current model puts training first, funding second.

Programme 05

Environmental Cleanliness

We treat a neighbourhood's cleanliness and its residents' health as connected, not separate, pairing health days with small, local clean-up efforts around drainage and waste in the same areas.

It's a modest programme compared to our health and livelihoods work, but one that directly reflects Article 6 of our Constitution.

Usually Paired With
  • Monthly community health days
Who We Support
  • Widows
  • Orphaned children & their guardians
  • Elderly residents living alone
  • Persons with disability
Programme 06

Vulnerable Groups Support

Home visits, welfare checks and practical advocacy for widows, orphans, the elderly and persons with disability, identified through our household register and community volunteers rather than left to chance.

This is the programme our Constitution names most specifically, and the one we consider closest to our founding purpose: Agape, love that asks nothing in return.
