Background
Save the Children has been managing programmes in Kenya for over 20 years. Save the Children’s strategy for Kenya and in particular in the North Eastern Province is linked to the organization’s goal of ensuring that all children have access to quality basic services – health, education, protection and social welfare. The interventions in Kenya implement this goal through improvement of and access to health facilities, the protection and improvement of the nutritional status of beneficiaries, and improved food security and livelihoods of beneficiaries through community management structures and social protection. Additionally, Save the Children is strongly committed to improving access to quality basic education that is appropriate and relevant to the needs of children in nomadic communities in ASAL areas in Kenya. In line with the agency-wide strategy, Save the Children has been one of the leading International NGO’s responding to humanitarian need in Kenya.
