KENYA
UMR is dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable communities in Kenya by tackling critical challenges like food insecurity, economic instability, and health issues. In partnership with the Wajir County Health Office and UNICEF Kenya, UMR operates semi-mobile sites that provide essential food supplies to 5,000 individuals, improving community well-being and resilience. To combat food insecurity and climate change, UMR collaborates with Caritas Nairobi on the Smart Hydroponics Project. This initiative trains women and youth in water-efficient farming methods, providing hands-on experience and entrepreneurial skills to foster financial independence.
Following the success of Phase 1 in Limuru and Mukuru, Phase 2 expands the project to Wajir County, addressing drought and water scarcity with innovative hydroponic greenhouses that promote sustainable farming practices. UMR also addresses pressing health needs through cataract surgeries and hearing aid programs, enabling individuals to regain independence and actively participate in their communities.
Additionally, the Family & Orphan Sponsorship Program offers immediate aid while fostering long-term economic empowerment through vocational training and child protection efforts. These initiatives help families achieve financial independence and stability, creating stronger, more cohesive communities.
Through these multifaceted programs, UMR is making a profound and lasting impact on Kenya’s most vulnerable populations. By addressing immediate needs and investing in sustainable solutions, UMR is building a foundation for healthier, more resilient communities.
Every Donation Counts
