We met with the Principal Secretary, State Department for Children Services Kenya, CPA Carren Ageng'o , to strengthen our collaboration on scaling up the Household Cluster Implementation Approach (HCIA), a community-based model that complements existing child protection systems and brings support closer to families.

Operating across 33 counties, the model works through Child Protection Promoters, alongside Kenya's Village Administration and Nyumba Kumi structures, to identify vulnerable children, including children with disabilities, orphans, and those living in extreme poverty, and to promote early intervention and continuous monitoring of children's well-being.

So far, 2,617 Child Protection Promoters and 11,762 sector promoters have been mobilised and trained to support children and families within their communities, helping extend the reach of child protection services to the household level.

As discussions continue on scaling up the approach, we are encouraged by the State Department’s commitment to strengthening this collaboration and to advancing community-based child protection systems that leave no child behind.

At 91, Longolan was too weak to walk.

When she arrived at a beneficiary verification site in Turkana, supported by her 59-year-old son, it was easy to assume that age was the reason she could barely stand.

It wasn’t.

Days without enough food had left her too weak to walk or even speak properly.

Just a few homes away, Mike, a widower and father of four living with a disability, was struggling to feed his children. His eldest daughter, just 12 years old, had taken on the responsibility of caring for her younger siblings while her father searched for food.

For both families, years of drought had wiped out the livestock they depended on, leaving them with little to fall back on.

Through support from the Kenya Humanitarian Fund (KHF), World Vision Kenya provided emergency cash assistance to some of the most vulnerable households in Turkana, including older people, people living with disabilities and families who had lost their livelihoods.

Four months after we first met them, we returned to see how Longolan and Mike's families were doing.

It was great to welcome the Compassion International Kenya team to World Vision Kenya for an open conversation about our work, the areas where our interests intersect and how our respective strengths could complement each other.

The meeting was led by Compassion International Kenya National Director Samuel Wambugu and World Vision Kenya Interim National Director Dr. Gershon Mwakazi, alongside senior leadership from both organisations.

We appreciate the opportunity to connect and exchange perspectives and we look forward to continuing the engagement.

39% of boys and 30% of girls in Kenya have experienced school-related physical and/or sexual violence, according to the 2019 Violence Against Children Survey (VACS).

That is why we are pushing for stronger protection for children in schools.

Recently, we convened an engagement with Members of Parliament to advocate for stronger child wellbeing provisions in the proposed amendments to the Basic Education Act, 2013, calling for:

• Safe and enabling learning environments that protect children from violence as provided by the 2024 Bogota commitment
• Promotion of positive discipline
• Strengthening of child-friendly safeguarding, reporting and referral mechanisms in schools
• Ensuring provision of school meals are recognised as essential to children’s health, attendance, retention and learning

We also called for stronger recognition and resourcing of Alternative Provision of Basic Education and Training (APBET) schools, so that children learning in these settings are not left behind.
