Our work in Emali, Kenya
Supporting children and families in Emali since 2006.
Supporting children and families in Emali since 2006.
With the support of thousands of Kiwis, we're working with local partners and communities in Emali to ensure that children and youth have their basic needs met and are protected from all forms of harm and abuse. Our shared goal is to achieve this by 2026.
Why your support is needed to help communities in Kenya.
Emali is susceptible to drought. In recent droughts, crop failure reached 90% and livestock loss was more than 70%.
More than half of rural households have no access to a toilet, and nearly 1 in 3 people collect water from unsafe sources.
In Emali, the literacy rate is much lower than the national average, and only 42% of families can provide a balanced meal for their children.
As a community sponsor, you'll help children, their families and their communities to create sustainable change. You'll help provide support to projects that improve education, access to water and healthcare, and that keep children safe from harm. You'll be supporting communities in Kenya to thrive!
COMMUNITY PARTNERS
In most countries ChildFund New Zealand supports, we work directly with the country office, who then work with local partners. From head office to grassroots, the teams are in regular contact to ensure we understand the community's needs and can channel your donations to where they're most needed.
During our visits, we also ensure agreed-upon standards are met and policies are followed. We would like to acknowledge the following in-country partners with whom we work most closely in Kenya, while also recognising the crucial importance of the local government bodies in our work.

Our work in the Pacific Islands began in 1994 in Papua New Guinea. Over time we extended our support to include communities in Kiribati and the Solomon Islands.
Since 1990 we have been supporting communities in Timor-Leste. This support helps provide youth with the training and skills to help their futures.
