We showed up at Kenya's first-ever national health summit, bringing government, health workers, innovators, and partners from across the country together under one roof at KICC.

We didn't just show up to watch. As Kenya's health system leans harder into digital tools and AI to reach people faster and more efficiently, CARE Kenya's own strategy has been moving in step; data and digital innovation are increasingly built into how we design and deliver programming on the ground. And as delegates discussed strengthening workforce capacity and quality of care across counties, we could point to something tangible: through the CASCADE project we were able to support the establishment of the first-ever staff lactation station at the Nakuru County Teaching and Referral Hospital's, a small but meaningful contribution to how the health workforce is cared for while they care for others.

Moments like this matter for us as an organization too. It's a chance to stand alongside government and partners, swap ideas, and make sure the work happening in communities is part of the national conversation.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to chat with our team!

CARE Kenya joined GALDO CBO, Nema Kenya, Department of Refugee Services - DRS, Kenya, Dadaab/Hagadera Municipality, and community members at the long-awaited ESIA public participation meeting at the GALDO Waste Handling Site in Ifo Camp.

Together, we walked through how waste is sorted, graded, and baled at the site and talked openly about keeping it safe for workers and the surrounding community. It was great to hear the Municipality, DRS, and even PAKPRO step up with real support, and to have community leaders like Madam Rukia Ali Rage stand behind GALDO's work.

Through the C2C program, we're proud to support GALDO CBO as they drive real change: more waste collected, more green jobs for the community, and a cleaner environment for everyone.

Together, we're turning waste into opportunity and building a greener, more resilient Dadaab.

As the climate crisis accelerates, public climate finance continues to fall far short of what is needed. At the same time, private finance and carbon markets are gaining momentum as potential sources of additional finance for adaptation.

This raises an increasingly urgent question: Is private finance for adaptation a hit or a miss, and what principles should guide these investments?

Over the past two days, civil society representatives and experts from across Africa came together to take a deep dive into this rapidly evolving landscape.

The discussions unpacked some of the critical and difficult questions surrounding private adaptation finance, blended finance, carbon markets, land and carbon rights, benefit-sharing, governance and accountability. Importantly, we looked beyond the opportunities to also interrogate the risks, trade-offs and safeguards that must shape Africa’s engagement.

As the climate finance architecture evolves, African civil society must have a strong voice in shaping its direction and ensuring that Africa’s priorities remain at the centre. The pursuit of more climate finance must not come at the expense of equity, rights, accountability, transparency or the priorities of communities most affected by the climate crisis.

The question, therefore, is not simply: How much finance can we mobilise? We must also ask: What kind of finance? On whose terms? For whose benefit? And with what safeguards?

Strengthening the Future of Financial Inclusion Through VSLA Linkages

This week, CARE Global VSLA technical teams from CARE USA, CARE UK (through the Lendwithcare product), CARE Kenya, CARE Uganda, CARE Tanzania, CARE Ghana, and CARE Rwanda came together to advance discussions on the future of Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) and their linkages to formal financial institutions through digitization.

The workshop focused on:
✅ Validating evidence and lessons from existing VSLA financial linkage initiatives
✅ Building a shared understanding of linkage typologies, delivery channels, responsible finance, digital inclusion, and safeguarding approaches
✅ Co-creating the architecture for the updated VSLA Financial Linkages Toolkit

As financial ecosystems continue to evolve, strengthening connections between VSLAs and formal financial service providers is key to expanding economic opportunities, particularly for women and underserved communities. Discussions also explored how digital innovation and financial literacy can create more inclusive and sustainable pathways to financial resilience.

Breastfeeding support must extend to the workplace.

Gloria’s experience shows what is possible when mothers have supportive colleagues, appropriate facilities and workplace systems that enable them to continue breastfeeding with dignity.

Through the CASCADE project, CARE Kenya, in partnership with the Department of Health Services Nakuru County and hospital leadership, supported the establishment of a dedicated lactation room at Nakuru County Referral and Teaching Hospital for breastfeeding clients and staff.

CARE Kenya calls on institutions to go beyond encouraging breastfeeding and create workplaces where mothers can succeed.

🤝 Excited to reflect on the significance of CARE Kenya's partnership with the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI).

This collaboration presents a powerful opportunity to strengthen livelihoods, unlock economic opportunities for women and young people, and build more resilient communities across Kenya.

In this short interview, I share my thoughts on how strategic partnerships can drive inclusive and sustainable development while advancing CARE's mission of creating lasting impact where it matters most.
