We work to sensitize communities on the rights of widows and orphans, aiming to counteract retrogressive cultural practices and create opportunities to address their social needs. By raising awareness about their rights, we empower these vulnerable groups to demand social accountability and access essential services.
We support financial inclusivity by facilitating the formation of Saving with Education (SWE) groups for vulnerable populations, providing capacity building in leadership, financial and business management, and rights awareness. Through these initiatives, we strive to create a supportive and empowering environment for widows and orphans, fostering resilience and self-sufficiency. These groups support members in establishing kitchen gardens, identifying orphans in need, and ensuring school fees are paid.
Through the PESP Project, ADS Nyanza promotes household resilience and economic empowerment by forming Saving with Education (SwE) groups, supporting sustainable farming, and improving nutrition through kitchen gardens.

Inspiring transformations of resilience, empowerment, and sustainable livelihoods through ADS Nyanza’s impactful community programs.
Kisumu West Sub County
A 31-year-old mother of four, Jacquiline serves as a mentor farmer under the ICRP Project. Through ADS Nyanza’s smart farming training, she transformed her family’s diet and health.
“After learning about nutrition, I started a kitchen garden. My child’s health improved, and we now eat balanced diets daily.”
Growing traditional vegetables like Dek and Kandhira, she now saves money for her family's future and advocates for climate-resilient tree planting.
Chulaimbo Village, Kisumu County
Once struggling to afford basic meals, 40-year-old Dorothy turned her household around through climate-smart agriculture and poultry training.
She now feeds her family and pays school fees by cultivating Osuga, Boo, and Sukuma. Through her group Stepping Stone, she empowers neighbors to embrace healthy hygiene and nutrition.
Rakwaro Sub-location
“There were nights my children and I slept hungry—but today, we have food and dignity.”
Through Savings With Education (SwE), Judith accessed a KES 18,000 loan to scale her salon and farm cassava. Now earning KES 700 daily, she has transformed her land and inspired 10 other community groups.
“My home is full of life again,” she says. Judith now distributes cassava cuttings to ensure her whole village thrives.
