We create environmental awareness and carry out biodiversity projects through provision of leadership and encouraging partnerships in caring for the environment. We advocate for farming practices that increase farmers’ resilience to climate change. We also promote the use of environmentally friendly energy saving cook stoves.

Our gender and women project is centered at empowering women as key change agents for Gender equality and women empowerment- as their empowerment is critical to catalysing social change at the community level, improving gender equality and their livelihoods, leading to increase in productive assets, secure access to land and better incomes and sustainable livelihoods. At Village Vocations, we use the Gender Action Learning Systems as an innovative approach to promoting gender equality. In this form of approach, women and men share their ideas and visions through household dialogues and this leads to better understanding and cohesion as well as greater wealth and well-being in the households

WATER, SANITATION & HYGIENE

Access to clean water, adequate sanitation, and nutrition is a challenge for the health of many communities in Kenya. VVP’s WASH program enables community residents across four different counties to gain access to improved water, sanitation, and hygiene services and increased access to irrigation and nutrition services. VVP partners with donors, government agencies, and community-based organizations as well as water and sanitation providers to develop viable business plans, improve operations, and facilitate access to financing, all with an aim of improving household sanitation, hygiene, and nutrition.
