Greetings,
This is the impact report for 2023, with your support we were able to reach 12 Quusano Village Group through training of 12 leaders on group dynamics. The Group Leaders had an opportunity to learn more about the legal requirement. The groups have successfully completed filling their annual returns and quarterly reports and they have saved a total of 520,200 Kenya Shillings. Three Village Groups received a total of 680,000 Kenya Shillings.
Under the Integrating Peace Building, Development and Humanitarian efforts across the Kenya, Ethiopia Cross Border. 121 youth leaders were equipped with knowledge on social inclusion, conflict resolution, safeguarding and leadership. 14 youth group leaders started monthly dialogue and discuss the challeges they are facing. Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) commitees in 11 locations have been established and trained as DRR Committees on drought management cycle, early warning and early response and they also developed 11 DRR action plans. We also manged to supported 5 cross border meetings with other stakeholders in partnership with the county and national government. 21 community volunteers trained on HODI policy and procedures, vulnerability and risk assessment, DRR Committee training, youth training, report writing, baseline survey for households and being a link between the organisation and the communities. HODI also supported the drafting of the Marsabit County peacebuilding and conflict resolution bill.
HODI also managed to distribute 20 balls and 80 cones to 4 schools impacting 800 participated and also as a result, football hours and the league matches were smoothly implemented. 8 new coaches were also trained on life skills, child safeguarding, organisation policies and procedures, league and match preparation, event delivery and as a result, coaches implemented the lessons among the children they work with in the community. 414 girls and boys registered and played in 66 matches in the school league, thereby exercising their rights to play and learn. 8 coaches supported their participation. These provided a platform where participants from different enthnicity can interact, play exchange culture and ultimately leading to formation of strong bonds. The 800 participants played, learnt life skills and had a safe space through football hour in schools where they learnt life skills on peace building and gender equality and through these participants were able to embrace gender equality and peaceful coexistence.
Finally we also managed to distribute essential hygiene products to 280 vulnerable girls enrolled in primary schools. The girls were issued with 30 boxes of disposable pads and 39 dozen undergarments to support them during their menstrual cycles and reduce the number of girls who are absent from schools due to lack of sanitary hygiene materials. The organisation managed to educate 280 primary school girls on the importance of menstrual hygiene, how to use the essential hygiene products during menstrual flow and being comfortable talking about menstration.
It is not easy to achieve all these great results without your support and the support of our partners. Kindly take a moment to share with your family and friends and help us moblise more resources and reach more communities.
