The SOMESHA program was born out of a need to address the displacement and vulnerability caused by the post presidential violence in 2007, ensuring that children affected by the turmoil could continue their education and rebuild their lives .  The program has played a role in battling the negative influences of groups like the Mungiki gang by enrolling girls and boys to SOMESHA program putting a stop to violence, early marriages, and other social issues. By keeping children in school and away from these dangers, the program helps reduce crime and other harmful activities, breaking cycles of poverty and transforming lives.

Tibu Program is an emergency program that addresses the medical care for the children  we serve and are unable to access medical facilities. The program  prevents complications and death  cases of serious illness like malaria, respiratory infections, pneumonia ensuring that every child receives the health care needed, regardless of their financial situation. Example of the case of a clap foot boy whose parents could not be able to raise funds to operate his foot the program facilitated for the boys operation making the boys walk normal and mingle and play with others freely.

LISHE BORA is a program that started  in 2008 after the presidential post election in  December 2007 and to ensure that the  health and well being of the children was taken care of through a nutritional support. This   became a source of inspiration bringing all vulnerable and displaced children together and it saw the SOMESHA program  in place because only eating could not transform a community that was without a school not even a public school nor private so this was the first encounter of a school to such a community.

The VALISHA program directly supports children’s access to education, contributing to their overall well-being and future opportunities. Reduces Financial Burden on Families: For families struggling financially, purchasing uniforms, shoes, and other school clothing can be a significant burden. By providing these items, Safisha alleviates some of the economic pressure, making it easier for parents to support their children’s education.

The program mitigates issues that arise in families such as rent for the parent or Guardian who is unable to keep a child at Safisha School due to the landlord eviction notice that may result into a child in somesha program being discontinued to learn.

By several girls having become mothers at an early age Safisha has a program under TUNZA that allows adolescent mothers and mothers access entrepreneurship to transform their lives.
Safisha has made impacts in rural populations of Nyeri, Kilifi, Kakamega , Bungoma and Kisumu

Disaster Response and Relief: TUNZA is instrumental in responding to natural disasters and emergencies, such as floods or the COVID-19 pandemic. The program provides vital support to affected communities by distributing food, resettling displaced families, and offering other necessary resources. This immediate assistance not only helps save lives but also contributes to the long-term recovery and stability of the community.

The impact of the “JENGA” program is profound in ensuring that children from vulnerable families have access to education. By constructing schools, Safisha Africa Welfare Foundation directly addresses the barriers these children face in attending school, particularly the financial challenges of private, profit-driven institutions. The program ensures that more children can receive a free education, thereby reducing the risk of dropouts in the community. The availability of these schools means that children who would otherwise miss out on education due to poverty or other challenges now have a safe and supportive environment to learn. Furthermore, by supporting schools that care for vulnerable children, such as orphanages, Safisha extends its mission to more communities, helping to fulfil the right to education for all children, regardless of their background.

The impact of the TUNZA (Take Care) program is significant in addressing various challenges that vulnerable families face for example Preventing Educational Disruptions: The TUNZA program plays a crucial role in ensuring that children in the SOMESHA program can continue their education uninterrupted. By assisting families who are at risk of eviction due to rent arrears, TUNZA helps to keep children enrolled at Safisha School, preventing them from dropping out due to
financial instability.

We engage in sustainable farming practices that protect the environment while strengthening local livelihoods. By working closely with farmers, families, and community groups, we promote methods that improve soil health, conserve water, and reduce dependence on harmful chemicals. These practices not only safeguard natural resources but also ensure long-term food security for future generations. Sustainable farming empowers communities. It increases crop resilience, lowers production costs, and helps farmers earn stable incomes. Through training, hands-on support, and knowledge sharing, we enable communities to adopt climate-smart agricultural techniques that are both environmentally responsible and economically viable. Our approach goes beyond farming. By supporting local food systems, we improve nutrition, create employment opportunities, and encourage self-reliance. When communities are equipped to grow food sustainably, they gain the tools to break cycles of poverty and build a more resilient future.
