Food Security & Livelihood

At PTD Kenya, we recognize that sustainable livelihoods are central to reducing poverty and driving community transformation. Our Livelihoods and Economic Empowerment programs aim to build resilient households, promote inclusive economic opportunities, and create pathways for self-reliance and prosperity. By working closely with communities, we provide skills, resources, and networks that enable people to thrive in an ever-changing economic environment.

We support farmers to adopt climate-smart agricultural practices, improve productivity, and access markets. By strengthening value chains and promoting modern technologies, we ensure communities have both food security and income opportunities.

We empower youth and women through business skills training, mentorship, and access to financial services. By nurturing entrepreneurship, we unlock innovation, job creation, and inclusive economic growth.

Through partnerships with microfinance institutions, SACCOs, and community savings groups, we promote financial literacy and access to affordable credit. This helps households invest in income-generating activities and build resilience against economic shocks.

We equip young people with employable skills through vocational training, apprenticeship programs, and capacity-building initiatives that prepare them for emerging opportunities in both formal and informal sectors.

PTD Kenya facilitates connections between producers, traders, and markets to enhance competitiveness and profitability. We advocate for fair trade and inclusive market systems that benefit small-scale producers and entrepreneurs.

Recognizing the impact of climate change on economic stability, we promote diversification of livelihoods, sustainable natural resource management, and green enterprises that safeguard both people and the environment.
