Dimensions: Save the Children has been operational in Kenya since the 1950s, providing support to children through developmental and humanitarian relief programs delivered both directly and through local partners.
Current programming focuses on child protection, child rights governance, education, health, HIV/AIDS, livelihoods, nutrition and WASH. In 2012, as part of a global reorganization process, Save the Children combined the programs of SC UK, SC Canada and SC Finland to create a single operation in Kenya.
In February 2014, we completed a second transition, which saw us join forces with the British INGO, Merlin, and merge their health and nutrition programs with our own.
Save the Children now has an operational presence in Bungoma, Dadaab Refugee Camp, Garissa, Mandera, Turkana and Wajir and we work through partners in many other parts of the country. We employ more than 300 staff and have an operating annual budget in 2014 of approximately US$25 million.
SCI Kenya is in the process of implementing an Adolescent Girls Initiative Action Research across four sectors of Health, Wealth Creation, Education and Prevention of Violence, in Wajir County, together with other partners namely; Population Council, Plan International and APHRC.
This program is expected to significantly contribute to investing in adolescent girls, with the need to invest early in order to break the downward spiral into early pregnancy, early marriage and intergenerational poverty.It is also expected that evidence from research will influence national policy and support scaled up, cost-effective interventions for adolescent girls in the future. This is also in line with Save the Children’s Theory of Change.
Save the Children will work with the government of Kenya at both national and county levels and communities to facilitate the randomized control trial to test a package of multi sectorial interventions for girls ages 11-14 and also the most cost-effective that will provide the greatest impact for girls in Northern Kenya and urban slums
