Climate-Smart Livelihoods

๐Ÿ’ผ Empowering Communities with Green, Resilient Income

For millions of Africans, climate change means lost crops, dying livestock, and vanishing jobs. But resilience isnโ€™t just survival โ€” itโ€™s opportunity.

AFRIHECOMโ€™s Climate-Smart Livelihoods programs equip women, youth, and marginalized groups with green skills, sustainable enterprises, and market access โ€” so they can earn income despite the changing climate.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ What We Do ๐ŸŽฏ Why It Matters ๐ŸŒฑ Our Approach

We turn climate challenges into economic opportunities through innovation, inclusion, and communication.

โœ… Green Entrepreneurship Training

We train youth and women in eco-tourism, agro-processing, solar lighting sales, and green construction โ€” linking them to microfinance and cooperatives.

โœ… Drought-Resilient Farming

We support pastoralist women in Isiolo and Mandera to adopt drought-tolerant crops, drip irrigation, and fodder production โ€” reducing dependency on unpredictable rains.

โœ… Nature-Based Enterprises

We help communities launch beekeeping, eco-brick making, and wetland restoration services โ€” where income and ecosystem health grow together.

โœ… Digital Market Access

We use mobile platforms to connect farmers and artisans to fair-trade markets, reducing exploitation and increasing profits.

  • 500+ women trained in climate-resilient livelihoods
  • 30% increase in household income in pilot areas
  • Youth unemployment reduced through green job creation

๐ŸŒฑ Our Approach: Equity at the Core

We focus on women, youth, and displaced populations โ€” because they are most vulnerable to climate shocks, yet most capable of driving change.

Through story circles, peer mentorship, and media campaigns, we:

  • Challenge gender norms in agriculture and business
  • Amplify success stories to inspire others
  • Advocate for inclusive economic policies

โ€œA woman with a green business isnโ€™t just feeding her family โ€” sheโ€™s leading her community.โ€
