PE-Kenya focuses its interventions on sustainable projects across three thematic areas;
- Albinism Awareness & Advocacy (AAA)
- Social Economic Empowerment (SEE)
- Welfare & Social Protection (WSP)
1. Albinism Awareness & Advocacy (AAA)
PE-Kenya champions albinism awareness by passing on knowledge and understanding of this subject matter to all stakeholders in the albinism community and the public in general. Advocacy further heightens this by taking awareness to another level by speaking up and asking for specific actions to be taken for the albinism community. This is done through providing the right information and facts on albinism, empowering the albinism community at the base, conducting educative forums and lobbying to influence legislation and policies.
AAA Projects
Understanding Albinism
This project is a partnership between PE-Kenya and the Open Society Initiative for East Africa aimed at heightening understanding albinism among persons with albinism, their care givers and service providers in Nairobi & Nyeri counties and their Environs.
Climb for Albinism (CLA)
The Climb for Albinism is an awareness and empowerment initiative which saw six women with albinism from across Africa scale up Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, from 1st to 7th October 2018.
