Economic Political and Social Empowernment of Women through savings-led microfinance Poverty affects women more than men because it reinforces other types of social exclusion based on gender. Alleviating poverty does not end with meeting basic materail needs but by challenging and redressing the causes and consequences of poverty and unfai
r systems and structures that contribute to persistent poverty. It is essential to help the very poor help themselves to change their sistuation. Such empowerment can lead to broad sustainable development in the community. There is need for self-managed se
lf savings-led approaches that are intentionally designed to meet the needs of the very poor women which offer low cost services that serve extremely poor households sustainably. The action aims to address the challenges of the most poor by assisting extre
mely poor women in Mtwapa to better engage in viable and sustainable income generation and business activities by a savings-led approach. The approach will improve the participation of women in broad social development activities in their communities

Maa Habitat Restoration Initiative - Environmental Conservation and Afforestation in Trasmara District Over time a lot of forest destruction has been taking place in these natural indigenous forests. Rampant forest destruction has taken place where it has reduced the forest cover by over 50%. This has led to manifold effects in the area including reduced ra
infall intensity and coverage reduced and drying of water sources (springs and catchments) loss of some rare wildlife species to other forested habitats among others. Reduced rainfall amounts and coverage has eventually affected water and vegetation availa
bility for people and livestock. The community?s livelihoods have been affected owing to reduced crop and livestock productivity. The trend of reducing vegetation cover has been upward and steady and of worrying magnitude. Some areas have remained bare and
 stood susceptible to serious soil erosion. Land degradation has set in to levels threatening food production. The main factors that have contributed to all these pressure to the residents to secure food and income for life leading to indulgence in forest 
destruction by charcoal burning ignorance of the repercussions of deforestation due to lack of awareness Lack of diversified income sources and change of land use to cultivable agriculture and settlement  necessitating clearing of forests.Appropriate inter
vention measures to this problem therefore require continuous and strategic efforts
