Children who reach their full development potential have greater opportunities to thrive. Through our Moments That Matter® (MTM) program partnership, we help young children reach key developmental milestones. MTM equips parents and caregivers to support their children’s cognitive, psychosocial and physical growth during the critical first three years of life.
Caregivers meet in support groups led by trained local leaders and volunteers. They learn how to prevent common illnesses, improve nutrition and protect their children’s health. These groups also offer savings opportunities, helping caregivers strengthen their household finances while building community support.
Our integrated programs strive to expand women’s access to healthcare, economic opportunities and financial stability. Our programs provide pregnant women with quality prenatal care and help women build financial resilience through savings and loan groups.
In partnership with CMS-Africa, women and youth gain financial literacy skills and access to micro-loans. With these tools, they can grow small businesses, increase household income and improve the well-being of their families.
ADS-Nyanza trains farmers to adapt to the changing climate by using sustainable farming practices, conserving soil and water, and planting climate-resilient crops. Farmers also learn livestock care, crop processing and renewable energy use to strengthen food security and income.
Local faith leaders and Mothers’ Union members receive climate change and equity training, helping them support their communities in building long-term resilience. Savings groups help families cope with financial shocks and invest in health, education and nutrition.
We work with ADS and local churches when disaster strikes to respond quickly and effectively. After the April 2024 floods, ADS-MKE collaborated with local churches and leaders to provide direct cash transfers to affected families, helping cover immediate needs like food and shelter.
ADS also provides food, clean water, sanitation and trauma support to families displaced by violence or conflict, focusing on the unique needs of women and children.
