After devastating drought wiped out livestock and pushed families into severe hunger and malnutrition in Garissa, communities are now rebuilding their lives through climate-smart farming supported by Save the Children. Families like Ardo’s are growing nutritious vegetables for the first time, improving children’s health, strengthening food security, and generating income through surplus produce and savings groups. The integrated support combining nutrition treatment, farming training, and financial empowerment is helping communities transition from vulnerability to resilience.

In Northern Kenya, prolonged drought has left families facing severe food insecurity after nearly a year without rain, as livestock die or migrate and livelihoods collapse. Mothers and children have been particularly affected, with rising cases of malnutrition and limited access to food and health services. Through Save the Children’s integrated outreach services and cash assistance, vulnerable households were identified and supported, helping stabilize health and restore hope despite the ongoing drought.

In Wajir County, children at Wajir Full Primary School are turning climate challenges into action through Save the Children’s Watoto na Mazingira programme. By planting trees and managing gardens, they are transforming their school into a greener, more resilient space. With support such as a solar-powered water system, these efforts are improving learning conditions while empowering children to become active agents of climate solutions in their communities.
