Esidai Women’s Group
We are proud to have founded and support the Esidai Women’s Group, who have come together to sew reusable (washable) sanitary napkins. AKTF also leads workshops on health and hygiene in the local schools, and small business training with the Esidai group.
Ushanga Kenya Initiative Project
AKTF is honored to have been invited to partner with the Kenyan Government in the Ushanga Kenya Initiative Project which will provide financing, training, marketing and a new platform on the international market for the Women’s Cooperatives to sell their beautiful beadwork.
Life Straw & Potable Water
In addition to providing water tanks, AKTF partnered with Life Straw Filters and A&K Philanthropy to install water filters at several schools. These initiatives ensure the children have potable water rather than drinking straight from polluted rivers, streams or dams.
Soap-Making
Combining hygiene education and micro-finance training, we started a soap-making project with about 25 local women who are now producing dish soap, hand washing soap, and multi-purpose soap for their own use as well as for sale. This creates a valuable product for women to sell, and it also encourages better hygiene in the community, thereby reducing disease transmission.
