Our Programs

What We Are Doing

Gender-Based Violence

GBV is a critical issue in Samburu County, influenced by cultural, social, and economic factors. HFSC focuses on understanding these factors, implementing awareness and education programs and strengthening legal and policy frameworks. We establish support services for GBV survivors, empower women and girls economically and engage community leaders to change social norms.

Education

HFSC aims to reduce barriers to education for pastoralist children by raising awareness about the importance of education and rescuing school dropouts. We focus on creating educational opportunities and support systems to ensure every child can pursue their career goals. By addressing the unique challenges faced by pastoralist communities, we strive to make quality education accessible to all.

Health and Nutrition

We focus on preventing malnutrition among vulnerable groups, including pregnant and lactating women, children aged 6-59 months, and the elderly. Our efforts include conducting mass screenings in remote villages to identify those in need. We then refer eligible clients to the nearest health facilities for continuous nutritional support, intervention, and follow-up, ensuring they receive the care they need to thrive.

Climate Change

Climate change poses significant challenges to Samburu County. HFSC's response strategies include investing in water infrastructure and promoting water conservation, supporting sustainable agriculture and livestock practices, and protecting biodiversity through conservation efforts. We address health impacts related to climate change, and engage communities in climate adaptation and mitigation efforts.
