Village Enterprise

Funded by USAID's Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance, Nawiri ("to thrive" in Swahili) is a five-year development food security project in Northern Kenya that aims to reduce levels of acute malnutrition among vulnerable populations sustainably. Catholic Relief Services (CRS) leads the consortium of seven nonprofits that Village Enterprise has joined. To date, we have adapted our poverty graduation program with additional components of cash transfers for consumption and nutrition and health education counseling, and social behavior change. The Adapted Nutrition-Friendly poverty graduation model is being piloted in Isiolo County with a target to impact 600 households and over 900 children in 12 months. More Information
