Projects

We provide entrepreneurial training, resources and access to clean water to help genuine and struggling women and young people achieve financial independence that can help improve their livelihood.

Bringing Water, Restoring Hope

This initiative aims to provide sustainable access to clean water for women in rural communities, enabling them to enhance their livestock management, agricultural productivity, and entrepreneurial activities. By addressing the need for clean water, we aim to improve health outcomes and create economic opportunities for women in Kenya.

Your donation not only reduces the spread of diseases and promotes good hygiene but also drives economic development by enabling villagers to use the same clean water facilities to help with their livestock, agriculture and other entrepreneurial venture.

Who will you invest in?

Njeri

Mombasa, Kenya

Grocery store

Requested:
£300

The worst part of my life was when my husband became alcoholic and abusive. Everything changed between us!

One day, he took a ‘panga’ African sword and tried to kill me. While defending myself with my hand, one of my hands got cut off. I experienced an unbearable pain and shock.

The police came and put my husband in jail. Not long after, he became sick and died. I was taken to the hospital and was told by the doctor there was no hope to get my hand back. 
 
Can you help Humanity Response raise £300 to help cover the start-up cost for a small local grocery store.
 
The funds could help me build entrepreneurial skills and purchase essential resources such as food and rentals for the first three months to start the business.

Abdubakr Omar

Mombasa, Kenya

Expand business

Requested:
£1,000

My name is Abubakar Omar and I need your help in expanding my business. 

I used to be a full-time driver but I had to quit my job to look after my wife and son. My wife is diabetic and had to get her legs amputated due to a risk of infection being spread to the bones. I also have a 25-year-old son, who is fully paralysed and needs 24/7 care as he can’t go anywhere on his own. 

Since then, I try to make a living while looking after my family by selling mabuyu, cashewnuts, and prawns as a side husstle. 

I need your help to expand my business. This includes, store rentals for the first month and buy clothes, shoes and food items for sale so that I can earn enough money to provide pampers for my disabled son and have a caretaker for my wife and son who can look after them while I am at work.

Shamim

Mombasa, Kenya

Cosmetic store

Requested:
£250

I lived in a small house with my husband and in-laws. My husband drove the ‘tuktuk’ around Mombasa for a living but the money he earned wasn’t enough to pay for school fees and rent. Last month, my husband died with a stroke and I am on my ‘Idda period’. Once, the four months and ten days of ‘idda period’ are over, I will have to find a home where I could stay with my 4 year old son, 12 year old daughter and 16 year old son. 

I want to start a cosmetic business but I do not know how. I have reached out to Humanity Response and they have decided to help me pay the funds to become fully trained to run a cosmetic business and invest in buying cosmetic products so that I could afford to rent a home and pay the school fees for my children. 

Could you lend £250 to make a difference?
