"I used to depend on rain-fed farming to feed my family. Whenever the rains failed, my crops failed too and i did not have any other source to feed my family. Through ADSE's trainings, I established a small kitchen garden and today I have expanded to one hectare of irrigated farming. My family has fresh vegetables that are highly nutritive, I earn an income from selling the surplus and I can now support my grandchildren's education. Farming has changed my life." Rachael Mbili Mwangangi, Kitui County

Mental health is a key pillar of a healthy, productive and resilient workplace and organizations that prioritize employee well-being foster stronger teams, improve performance and create an environment where individuals can thrive both personally and professionally. ADSE incorporated a Mental Health and Employee Well-being Session into its Annual Staff Planning and Retreat Workshop, held in Mombasa from 23rd to 26th June 2026. Facilitated by a guest expert, the session provided staff with practical insights on managing stress, building resilience, maintaining work-life balance and recognizing the importance of seeking support when needed.

Working in community development often means walking alongside communities facing complex challenges. While this work is deeply fulfilling, it also requires emotional strength and intentional self-care. The session reminded staff that taking care of their own mental well-being is essential to effectively serving others.

ADSE remains committed to creating a workplace culture where mental health is openly discussed, support is encouraged and every member of staff feels valued and empowered. By investing in the well-being of our people, we strengthen our capacity to deliver sustainable, people-centered development and transform communities with excellence and compassion.
