Introduction
In each day 1,000 children die from illnesses like diarrhea, dysentery, and cholera caused by dirty water and unhygienic living conditions. We cant develop our communities without tackling the waterborne diseases that contribute to ailments.
As part of an integrated approach to fighting hunger, we bring safe water, sanitation, and hygiene services to communities in need all over Isiolo County. By 2018 Caritas Isiolo has reached over 50,000 individuals under this intervention in the County.
Our Approach
We seek to employ techniques that can mitigate the effects of climate change through the application of small-scale measures that help slow down climate change.
Mitigation Of Effects Of Climate Change
We are working with Isiolo communities to reduce and limit greenhouse gas emissions through investment and promotion of renewable energies i.e. Use of solar power in power in place of Kerosene, Energy saving Jikos to curb on excessive use of wood.
Adaptation To Climate Change
Looking as at a sustainable means of responding to climate change, we are focusing too on reducing vulnerability in the face of the effects of climate change through improving infrastructure and making facilities safer and more resilient, reforesting, water treatment and purification, flexible and varied forms of livelihoods.
Policy Formation And Enactment
Having in place policies that seek to protect the welfare and lives of communities is key in responding to climate change.
