In Kenya, thousands of children aren’t getting the food they need to grow up strong and healthy.

Mothers provide for their families as part of their daily household duties. Putting food on the table has always been tough here. But the climate crisis and unpredictable weather are making it impossible for many.

Families here rely on raising and selling their livestock and poultry for money to buy groceries at the market. But the lack of pasture to graze on means their animals are dying.

Without a source of income, how can you feed your children?
