Cycling for Child Protection
In a meaningful show of support, bicycles were provided to the community Child Protection committees to enhance mobility, allowing them to reach more children and families with ease. This gesture will empower our volunteers to continue their vital work, ensuring that every child in our community is safe, protected, and empowered to thrive.
Newsletter October 2024 Together for the needy children!
In our Q3 newsletter 2024, KidsCare remains steadfast and committed to support over 2,500 children and 360 households. This progress is only possible with your invaluable support.
Despite challenges such as high inflation, political instability, and difficult economic conditions, we are pleased to report the successful stabilization of 95% of the families in need through our Community-Based HomeCare Child Protection and Beekeeping Program. With this significant impact, the program is successfully handed over to the government to ensure its sustainability.
The successor of this program is now looking forward to stabilise the most needy vulnerable families in 40 households where a number of families have already started achieving their short term goals.

Kitchen garden flagging off!
Every year KidsCare participates in short term intervention to mitigate difficult situation brought about by drought and harsh climate and economic situation. In collaboration with the government and willing donors KidsCare has been able to distribute farm input packages for seasonal farming over the past years. However with the current prolonged drought and unpredictable weather patterns, normal farming activities have become a challenge. For this reason, On the 4th of April 2023, KidsCare in collaboration with the county and national government flagged off a kitchen garden intervention aiming to support 31 farmers groups to participate in Kitchen garden activities for sustainability. With provision of 565 vertical bags and varieties of vegetable seeds packages for kitchen garden activities. With intensive trainings in every demonstration site stationed within the communities, this intervention will encourage source of income generating activities to boost their living standards as well as provision of basic needs.
Why Kitchen garden? This modern farming technic:
Requires less reliance on weather pattern as water usage is minimal which is even an added advantage to more dryer areas;
Usage of minimal land for maximum production;
Production of organic and fresh vegetables;
Environmental friendly;
Requires minimal costs;
Usage of local available resources;
Consumes less time
”Buying food requires money and due to the difficult situation, many of us cannot manage. So with this intervention we are very grateful for the support from KidsCare. Once we get the trainings we look forward to mitigate this situation. With the success of this project we will be able to also provide basic needs to our kids through small income generating activities, our kids will now be able to concentrate more in school as they will no longer suffer from skipping meals.” Says one of the beneficiaries
