There are many ways to contribute towards achievement of Hesed Africa Programs' Goals.
Whom do we target?
We mainly work with the most vulnerable members of the society by trying to equip them with vital skills and knowledge to tackle the existing opportunities in the community for self - reliance.Most of the target populations in districts of focus, to be particular, Western Kenya rely on subsistence farming as a source of livelihoods and the type of farming they depend itself on is largely rain fed thus dependent on climatic conditions thus their livelihoods depends on climate too.
With the recent climatic changes, there has been environmental degradation and poor harvests.
