Our vision is clear: to empower and protect pastoralist communities in Kenya’s Laikipia and Kajiado counties, where lives and livelihoods are intricately linked to their livestock. In collaboration with esteemed partners Mercy Corps Ventures, Shamba, and DIVA Protocol, we are on a pioneering journey to provide anticipatory aid for climate shocks. The introduction of blockchain-powered smart contracts is set to revolutionize the way aid is delivered, ensuring it is proactive rather than reactive. With the help of these smart contracts, we can now swiftly provide aid when pasture conditions are deemed detrimental. The essence of this program lies in its ability to reduce the impact of climate shocks on pastoralist communities. By offering timely financial support precisely when they need it most, we are not merely providing aid; we are offering a lifeline to those facing adversity. Donate today: https://lnkd.in/d2KwpQNV Together, we are shaping a future where aid is a proactive force for good, making a tangible impact on the lives of those who need it most.

Are you looking for a good place to make donations to for the end of the year? Please, please consider giving to Pious Projects of America - they're rated as a 4-star charity by Charity Navigator and are funding extremely important projects such as (but not limited to) emergency relief for Palestine/Gaza and food/water for Yemen, who is also undergoing one of the worst hunger crises in the world. Something I really like about their campaigns is that they tell you exactly how much your donation helps (ie "$50 buys 1 food basket"). As you sit in your warm houses and fill up on your favorite holiday treats, please consider helping out people who are not as lucky as you are. Instead of buying your friends & family plastic junk that will just collect dust until it is thrown into a landfill, buy a food basket or two in their names to feed a family in need. 🙏 🤲 📦 https://piousprojects.org/

The impact of war on children is profound and devastating, affecting their physical, emotional, and psychological well-being in significant ways. Children are often the most vulnerable victims of war, facing increased risk of injury or death from violence, bombings, and other forms of conflict. The lack of access to healthcare and basic necessities can result in malnutrition, disease, and other health issues. The experience of war can have long-lasting emotional effects on children, leading to anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder. Witnessing violence, losing loved ones, and being displaced from their homes can have a lasting impact on their emotional well-being. Disruption of Education- can have long-term consequences on their development and future opportunities, perpetuating cycles of poverty and instability. War impact on children's innocence and childhood, forcing them to grow up too quickly and take on responsibilities beyond their years. It is essential for governments, organizations, and individuals to prioritize the protection and well-being of children during times of conflict, ensuring that they receive the necessary support, care, and resources to recover from the devastating impact of war.
