Food Security Livelihood

It goes without saying that food insecurity and poor livelihoods usually impact on one’s health status in terms of malnutrition, anemia, psychological stress, mental disorders among others. It therefore a serious socio-economic issue that has serious implications on health hence ought to be tackled. As KHIDNET, we are engaged in food security and livelihood improvement programs that include but not limited to;

• Urban farming to enable urban dwellers have cottage gardens around or near their homes to supplement food from other sources.
• Nutrition promotion whereby caregivers at household and community levels are sensitized on importance of proper nutrition, what constitutes it and dietary aspects.
• Promoting Village Savings and Lending Associations (VSLAs) and other savings and credit avenues that provide people with financial capital to engage in some sort of income generating activity within their respective areas.
• We seek to always network with government so as to link the people to some of the government programs that promote food security and livelihoods such as parish development model, youth livelihood program, women empowerment programs, NAADS, operation wealth creation among others.
• We are also pursuing appropriate women and youth empowerment programmes particularly skilling women various apprenticeship trades to make them competitive in the current labour market and pursue such trades as their businesses. We believe in the view that when you empower a woman, then you have empowered the family and the nation.
