                            <p>The   overall   project   objective   is   to  break   the recurrent cycle  of food  insecurity  in  Nasinyono, Turkana   County.   
                                To   achieve   this,   the  project focuses on two pillars: increasing food production and preventing moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) with locally grown food. 
                                The project also supports good governance through the strengthening  of local  structures like  the Ministry of Agriculture to enhance commitment and ownership  of  the  project,  which  will  be  key to sustainable production growth. 
                                Empowering adolescent girls and young mothers through training  serves as the pivotal  force  in  breaking the cycle of food crises sustainably. 
                                They become catalysts   for   change,   wielding   their   positive influence  among peers and shaping  the foundations for future generations. 
                                This project recognizes  the significance  of  social  dynamics and intergenerational  aspects as pivotal  factors in achieving the desired transformative effects.

                        <p>During  the  year 2023,  significant  progress was made in increasing and diversifying agricultural production. </br>
                            This included:
                                Ploughing  a 272-acre  farm,  distributing  seeds to farmers      who    later      did      the    planting      in collaboration  with  the project  team and county government department of Agriculture. 
                                Construction    of   a   water  pan   for   irrigation, elevated   water  tanks,   drip   irrigation   systems, fencing,  cattle  troughs and a canal  linking  the water pan to the river  as a water source.  
                                2 mills were continuously  serviced  to enhance their  use by the community.
                        </p></br>
                        <p>The project also prioritized coaching an ongoing support for  farmers  on sustainable  agricultural practices.
                            Efforts to ensure access to safe and clean water included  the  ongoing  installation  of  a reverse osmosis system.
                                Completion  of 33  operational  latrines  by the end of the year.
                                Training for Mother-to-Mother support groups in infant and young child practices, conducted monthly.

                        <p>Training sessions were carried out for farmers' cooperatives, focusing on leadership, group dynamics,   and   governance  to  bolster sustainability.
                            Training sessions for adolescent girls and young women  on  the  "Make   Me   a  Change Agent" program,  empowering  them to disseminate  the lessons  learned  to  other  community  members and make a positive impact.
                            Distribution  of dignity  kits  to girls  in  the project area was carried out. 
                            Post-distribution monitoring revealed  that the dignity  kits  had a significant impact,   as  beneficiaries   expressed   high satisfaction  and reported improvements  in hygiene, self-esteem, and confidence.
