Touched by an ever-increasing poverty gap in Siaya county, (Western part of Kenya), having conducted
a need assessment and with a vision towards sustainability. The poverty gap in Siaya is caused by an increased
number of illiterates because, due to low income, many families lack enough funds to take their
children to school to unlock various opportunities.
Poor sanitation, depression, unemployment,
poor access to basic services, such as electricity, good health facilities, gender-based violence
and many other factors that lead to poverty in rural settlements are some of the realities that gave birth
to Compassionate community Network: because some of these challenges force young people who are the hope
of tomorrow to be too disparate and they end up trying to explore other options to go to the cities to
get better jobs to improve their lives unfortunately on arrival they meet roadblocks ahead with
a big warning sign“ No Hope ahead”. Others end up in criminal activities and end in premature death.
Compassionate Community Network has a vision to
restore back the lost hope to Siaya residents, so that
they can identify their potential to improve their lives to ensure sustainability. We are focused on building
and creating a network for sustainability to create a suitable environment with a drop of love and compassion for all the
community members to utilize their potential to alleviate poverty and end hunger and other life-threatening conditions.
