WOPLAH's Impact Across Western Kenya
WOPLAH supports various projects including kitchen gardens, fish farming, goat and poultry rearing, mushroom farming, economic empowerment through banking initiatives, and community educational outreach. These projects are implemented in community support groups. WOPLAH works with 42 support groups across 13 Sub Counties in Western Kenya. Each support group has an average of 30 members who receive financial, emotional, and social support through WOPLAH’s programs. Hence, these individuals are better equipped to support their families and give back to the community. Each group participates in different WOPLAH supported projects, but all support groups provide a social network and safe space for members regardless of HIV/AIDS status. Information about and the location of each support can be seen below.
