A connected community-development approach

These programmes are not isolated activities. Poultry can strengthen household food security and livelihoods; kitchen gardens support nutrition and resilience; tailoring develops productive skills and local production; and tree growing builds environmental responsibility and climate resilience. Across the portfolio, KWEPU emphasizes practical knowledge, community ownership and sustainability.
