Action For Better World Association (AFBWA) At ACTION FOT BETTER WORLD ASSCOCIATION we understand that all it takes to change the world is a little support. Since 2014, we have involved the youth, women, children and international volunteers in different community development projects with the goal of making an impact through volunteering. the CORE of our efforts is to bring team's fresh ideas and passion to the range of our activities where everyone can have basic needs in the society.
Umiisyu Women Group is located in Makueni County Kibwezi town. The group has 30 members who involve themselves in farming . It started in 2015 due to long drought and the stop of charcoal burning by the government which initially was the main source of family income. The projects seeks to empower women through farming. Local and international volunteers will work with the women group in their farm aswell aas also making visits to their homes where they live and share african meals while spending time with their families. Additionaly the voluntters will geet a chance to learn the indigenous language and the cultures.
We see every challenge as an opportunity and Mathare area being the largest slum in East Africa after Kibra slums. People here live under a dollar daily making life unbearable. Prostitution, crime and lack of many amenities are at a very hoigh rate in this area. Our project, MATHARE YOUTH GROUP, seeks to address these the many challenges the youth in this area go through by introducing projects and programs that favour a much justified source of behavior change. Through our projects- Garbage collection, Car wash, Music Production, Bead making and more. Volunteers get the opportiunity to visit the youth, engage with them in the various projects and later on visit the homes where they get to spend time, sharing meals and talking(counselling)....
A change in mindset transforms ways by which our youth and women engage. Our programs aim to provide platforms that empower our youths and women engaging them in diverse ways to use available resources....
Through your donation, thousands of lives are impacted hence transforming societies and communicating a message of hope to the hopeless.
