Members of AAMMH in Kenya

CAMPH

 

Coalition for Action for Preventive Mental Health Kenya. We are made up of a wide variety of community groups and non-governmental organizations who are keen to see more investment and opportunities for community-based prevention initiatives. We believe by investing in grassroots community prevention and awareness initiatives, Kenya can employ an approach that builds on Indigenous cultural resources and innovative models developed via the diverse experiences of our communities. We believe an approach developed in this manner — from the community level up — will be uniquely suited to alleviate the burden of mental health conditions and challenges.

Nasio Trust

 

The Nasio Trust has been empowering communities in rural, Western Kenya to break the cycle of poverty through the provision of education, healthcare and sustainable livelihoods since 2001. Our flagship projects include the direct delivery of education through our two Early Childhood Education Centres. We also support 365 orphaned and vulnerable children through education sponsorship and access to basic needs. Our high-impact Peer Education Programme is sensitising youth through essential training in Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare, and has reduced teenage pregnancy rates in our catchment area by 60%. Our agricultural programme has empowered 1,500 small-holder farmers, increasing their yields by 23% in 2024. The charity is now collaborating with researchers from the University of Reading to understand the impact of climate shocks on livelihoods in Kakamega to build climate resilience within the community.
