'263 children abused in one year'
This news is one of the headlines in The Standard this week, a Kenyan newspaper. We are talking about just a small area: Busia. The electronic dossier, set up by ICS, reports all mistreatments. Skillful parenting is being indicated as solution to drastically decrease these amounts in the future.
Parenting with extra challenges
The Skillful Parenting training program developed by ICS helps fathers, mothers and other caregivers in rural areas of Kenya and Tanzania in raising children. This includes also parents with a physical disability. Read the story of Charles and Margareth from Kenya.
Chickens on credit
Besides seed and fertilizer small farmers in western Kenya are now also able to buy chickens on credit via Agrics. Agrics set up a chicken farm nearby Kakamega, a few months ago. This ensures farmers food for their families and an income, also outside the harvest season.
