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.

NGO Millenium Goals

The recently launched Human Development Report 2003 says that the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are an “idea whose time has come” and that they are propelling governments, aid agencies and civil society to reorient their work.  Read Article 

Right to Health

At first glance, it might seem misplaced to speak of health as a right when ever increasing segments of the world’s population are witnessing a steady degradation in the state of their health, to the point where their very existence is
threatened. Read Article

Volunteer Policy

Kenya is one of the few countries endowed with multiple scenic sites like the endless rolling savannah, lush rain forests, snow caped mountains, tropical beaches, extinct volcanoes a culture so rich and diverse and a history that goes back to creation all within its borders.  Read Article
