Livelihoods & Resilience
Strengthening communities to achieve economic stability, well-being, and the resilience to thrive in the face of challenges.
Building Stronger, Self-Reliant & Resilient Communities!
At Pamoja Change Kenya (PCK), we recognize that sustainable development goes beyond income—it requires resilient communities that are economically stable, food secure, mentally healthy, and protected from harm. Our Livelihoods & Resilience program equips communities with the tools, knowledge, and support needed to build sustainable livelihoods, improve well-being, and adapt to changing circumstances.
🔴 The Challenge
Many households in underserved communities face multiple, interconnected challenges that limit their ability to thrive:
- Limited access to sustainable income opportunities
- Food insecurity and poor nutrition
- High levels of stress, trauma, and limited psychosocial support
- Exposure to gender-based violence and weak protection systems
- Limited access to preventive health information and services
These challenges reduce resilience and increase vulnerability, especially among women, youth, and marginalized groups.
