Empowering Rural Marginalized Communities in Africa
"There's enough on this planet for everyone's needs but not for everyone's greed."
OUR VISION
To create resilient communities across Africa by empowering the marginalized through sustainable solutions, bringing hope to the poor and vulnerable, ensuring that no one is left behind in the pursuit of shared prosperity and a sustainable future
HELP REBUILD HOMES FOR SYPRINA AND SUSAN BEFORE THE RAINS COME AGAIN.
This year, two of the women (both elderly) in a partner self-help group became sudden victims of the heavy March rains in Kenya. Floods were caused by heavy rains, river flooding, and Lake Victoria backflow. As the rains persisted, water stagnation and contamination of clean water sources were the result. Loss of life and property damage was high. In Kendu Bay, at the edge of Lake Victoria, Kenya, Syprina and Susan of the Kamser Seka Widows (KSW) group lost their homes. As the second rainy season of the year looms, they lack the means to rebuild.
How can you help? Our plan is to quickly rebuild a new home in the next two months. You can provide the funding. We will mobilize the labor. For more information, click here.
Mary Omega is the organizer of KSW. Working with PHI’s Jiimarishe Empowerment Program, the meager resources of these women are leveraged to create new and sustainable income streams.

JIIMARISHE HONEY PROJECT
The Jiimarishe Honey Project empowers residents of marginalized communities in Kenya by creating multiple income streams from their own land through apiculture. Besides the honey, the presence of the bees also helps to catalyze the growth of fruit trees and garden produce to feed the family and the remaining produce is sold for income.
In 2021, PHI did a pilot project with 20 farmers in Gilgil, Kenya. The collaborative venture with the farmers resulted in as much as a five-fold increase in income for the farmers. This increase in income was initiated first be capturing rainwater for consumption and for agriculture. Beekeeping contributed to financial resilience and improved the overall well-being of their families. Beneficiaries included a significant percentage of elderly women and persons living with disabilities.
