CRS Work in Kenya
CRS/Kenya focuses on two main goals:
- To improve food security in target communities
- To contribute to the development and maintenance of a strong civil society
In view of the above, CRS/Kenya supports projects in six programming areas:
- Sustainable Agriculture through crop protection, livestock improvement, natural resource management and small-scale irrigation schemes
- Community Health interventions in the areas of child survival, STD-HIV and AIDS, water and sanitation
- Microfinance/Small Enterprise Development
- Emergency Support
- Education
- Justice and Peace
CRS aims to incorporate gender, peace and justice and Catholic Social Teaching principles into the development of its projects, in order to maintain a strong civil society and to ensure a common foundation from which all activities are initiated.
Some specific examples of our work include:
Mother-to-Mother Support Group
The Mother-to-Mother Support Group is an innovative project helping mothers improve the nutrition of their children.
The Children Behind Project
The Children Behind Project assists children needing care as a result of the growing prevalence of HIV and AIDS by increasing support to traditional structures and providing children with the education and dignity they deserve.
