Kenya

Today CARE works with communities on health, livelihoods, water and sanitation, climate change, and disaster risk reduction.

Relief efforts in Kenya

Despite being one of Africa’s most developed nations, the gap between rich and poor in Kenya is growing. CARE has been here since 1968, supporting the work of Harambee, the village-level self-help movement. CARE initially provided schools and worked on community development and long-term agro-forestry projects.  

Today CARE works with communities on health, livelihoods, water and sanitation, climate change adaptation, and disaster risk reduction. We support refugees with water and hygiene, food, and formal education in camps along the Somali border. We also work with civil society and local organisations to help them build their skills and knowledge. 

Program areas:

Disasters & Emergencies

Food & Water

Education & Livelihoods

Climate

Health

Donate now

Support our ongoing work to create a more equal world.

Your donation can help end extreme poverty and give people the means to build a better future for themselves in countries like Kenya.

For those living in extreme poverty, your support brings education and training, healthcare and clean water, nutritious food, and new ways to earn an income. And in times of crisis, you help us deliver emergency relief. Please donate today.
