It’s believed that roughly 10 million people in Kenya—about a quarter of the population—are food insecure, according to the Food Security Portal. We help by partnering to create:

​​

• School nutrition programs

• Sponsored food donations to families in need

• Education of vulnerable families on the importance of health

Education is a right. We are working for education for all in the face of poverty. Many families just cannot afford to send their children to school. CMEP empowers communities by:

• Paying the school fees for children who cannot attend school due to financial reasons

• Developing a Special Needs Centre, which you can read more about here

• Presenting an annual scholarship in memoriam of Brendan Thompson

• Buying school uniform for children who cannot afford them 

• Educating families on important topics such as hygiene and caring for children with special needs  

• Introducing a Sponsor Child Program

The health infrastructure in rural Kenya is especially underfunded. ​In Kajiado County where we operate, 22.73% of the population is underweight for their age, and only 48.94% of children aged 12-23 months are immunised. We help in our partner communities by providing:

​

• Mobile health clinics in communities underserved by hospitals

• 'Days for Girls' menstrual kits to girls in need, that can be reused and last up to three years! 

• Training programs that focus on the hygiene habits of a healthy home

• Mobile sight and eye clinics for children and communities

• Multi-vitamin health program for the children who attend school

• De-worming students

Empowering the people in rural Kenya with the tools they need to earn an income is key to CMEP's beliefs. We help by:

​

• Buying local traditional jewellery and selling them in Australia, returning the profit to the original jeweller

• Employing local community members in short and long term job opportunities 

• Small grants hand-outs for struggling families
