C-PAGE is an acronym for CULINKE – Programme Advancing Girls’ Education-An Intervention Programme to Combat Constraints to Girls’ Education…. The purpose of this programme guided by the fact that better education like better health is a precursor to sustained growth and that to increase educational opportunities for the girl-child by promoting full school participation and offering other kinds of support reduces the possibility and risk of adolescent transactional sex for fees and livelihood now and in future. Successful implementation of this programme involves direct participation of parents, families, and community members. Donate, Support Winnie Achieng' to Complete Her Education Winnie is 14 years old and in class seven at Nyalunya Primary School in the outskirts of Kisumu city. She lost her father George Okoth in 2005 and lives with her widowed mother Jane Atieno a petty trader who sells groundnuts, rice and beans at the Jubilee market in Kisumu. Winny has 3 brothers who cannot go to school for lack of school fees. She lost her sister Joyce in 2006 and now lives with her late sister’s baby girl-Nicol. Winny is asking for hidden costs of education to continue learning. She favourite subject is science and hopes to be a doctor one day. She lost her sister to malaria and would like to help stop malaria when graduates. She like several other girls might never realise their dream if you do not step in to help. They will instead be trapped in poverty without any hope of breaking the trap. Already her brothers are just at home, one a highly talented football player but with little education no-one wants to employ him only on the basis of playing football. Winy believes she can help make a difference only if someone comes to her aid. You can be the one, help winny complete her studies, at the moment she needs for all her needs including books, uniforms, sanitary towels, lunch and upkeep costs USD 100 per month.  |
POVERTY
Poverty Reduction
Poverty is malnourishment. Poverty is homelessness. Poverty is inability to access medical care. Poverty is lack of an informed mind, lack of basic general knowledge and basic literacy skills. Poverty is lack of savings and inaccessibility to credit…living from hand to mouth by the day …merely existing, scraping through life, groping for a meaningful co-existence with others, including nature.COMMUNITY
Community Services
This programme is takes care of the Social Development Goals of the MGDs. CULINKE acknowledges that economic growth is essential for poverty reduction, but it is not sufficient. Growth must be accompanied by measures that ensure its benefits reach all segments of the population.HIV/AIDS
HIV/AIDS
Of great concern to CULINKE is the effect of HIV and AIDS on the productive life of the people. HIV and AIDS induces and deepens poverty. The scourge has emerged as a cause of poverty and is officially recognized as a threat to development in Kenya.ICT
Information & Communication Technology
The Department of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is youth-led and inspired. The department is a part of the social entrepreneurial and sustainability efforts to CULINKE. Under the youth it is referred to as Youth Employment for Poverty Reduction through ICT Services and Resource Centres.HEALTH
Health & Medical Services
Disease is one of the main reasons that stand in the way of the efforts of the people of developing countries trying to overcome poverty. Poverty accelerates the spread of disease and the spread of disease aggravates poverty, creating a vicious cycle. There is a fundamental relationship between health deficits and poverty.AGRICULTURE
AGRICULTURE
Orphanhood, HIV/AIDS and cultural norms like gender discrimination harm agriculture leading to debilitating hunger and extreme poverty. Families scratch out an existence that is brutally difficult, living on the edge of survival and often falling off the edge, leaving them sick and unable to afford medical care.
