The Salvation Army in the East of Kenya implements a number of community development projects on resilience, anti-human trafficking, community health, economic empowerment and education.
Food security intervention is delivered through the Mseto resilience project improving and equipping families with farming knowledge and skills relevant to the context of climate change. Around 1,404 families inclusive of people living with disability have benefitted throughout the project life and have replicated the technologies that have impacted communities positively enabling their food security, nutrition and household income.
Some of the challenges are prolonged droughts and lack of water; diseases; high production costs; post-harvest losses; unpredictable markets; and negative impacts of climate change. Future developments will focus on the use of technology especially in production, marketing and research.
