Climate Action
The world is becoming more vulnerable every day as a result of climate change, and more particularly in semi-arid and dry regions with growing acute poverty, water scarcity, malnutrition, and biodiversity loss. These communities are disproportionately exposed to extreme weather events, are more reliant on natural resources for livelihoods and water, and least able to cope with, and adapt to negative environmental impacts.
Clean Water
In arid and semi-arid regions like northern Kenya, up to 70% of the population faces challenges in accessing clean and reliable water sources (NDMA, 2018). These essential services are crucial for the health, dignity, and economic well-being of communities, yet many residents face daily struggles to secure even the most basic necessities. These challenges contribute to severe health issues, hinder educational opportunities, and perpetuate cycles of poverty.
Sustainable food systems are essential to ensuring food security and nutrition for rural populations. These systems must be economically viable, socially inclusive, and environmentally sound to address the interconnected challenges of hunger, poverty, and climate change. At ACTNOW KENYA, We place great emphasis on integrating novel practices such as community gardening to promote equitable access to food and nutrition.
Food Security
You cannot protect the environment unless you empower people, you inform them, and make them understand that these resources are their own, that they must protect them.
