Self-Sufficiency Projects

Kitechild’s Self-Sufficiency Projects assist children’s residential centers in providing better nutrition and education while also offering economic stability to many women in the communities, who then are able to support their families, keeping them from giving up their children to residential centers or allowing them to be reunited with their children who are already living in residential centers.  As secondary goals, we strive to have these projects provide self-sufficiency for the organizations for better management and planning and work in harmony with the environment.

Partner Voices

Our partnership with Kitechild and their role in helping us start the Shamba (Kenyan for farm) and dairy farm has eliminated expenditure for vegetables and milk improving the children's nutrition and health greatly. The water borehole, the vegetables and the milk has also brought the community closer to us, as they come to get water and buy milk and vegtables. We are now coexisting well.

Wasilwa Lusweti, Watoto Wema Director

Kitechild doesn't give us handouts or tokens, they give us VALUE. They provided us with the seeds and funding to build two greenhouses and today we have greenhouses full of green tomatoes and are expanding the farm to grow onions and potatoes outside in the open air. This is never heard of before in Masai land, growing one's own food, but with their help we did it.

Charles Maina, former Mother Esther Director
