Child Protection
Protecting children from violence, abuse, exploitation and neglect.
Current Situation
In Kenya, the Government has developed and adopted policies and enacted laws to protect children. However, thousands are still exposed to violence and abuse, harmful practices, lack of parental care and sexual exploitation. Children also face specific risks during and after emergencies such as floods, droughts, conflicts or epidemics. An emerging threat for children is online abuse and exploitation. Around one in two young adults in Kenya experienced violence as a child, according to the 2019 Violence Against Children Survey, implemented by the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection. This found that 46 per cent of 18 to 24-year-old women faced at least one type of violence – physical, emotional or sexual – during their childhood, as well as 52 per cent of young men in the same age group. The prevalence of child marriage among girls stands at 23 per cent.
Sports Aid Africa's response
The Government has developed a strong legal and policy framework to protect children. The 2010 Constitution of Kenya (Article 53) recognises the right of all children to be protected from abuse, neglect, harmful cultural practices, all forms of violence, inhumane treatment and punishment, and hazardous or exploitative labour. SAA seek to work with the Government and other likeminded organizations in Kenya to increase protection for children and adolescents from violence, exploitation and abuse, as well as harmful cultural practices. We are ensuring children have improved access to prevention, care, support and justice services required for their physical, mental and social well-being. We also seek to work together to equip frontline child protection workers with the skills and tools they need to provide these services. We are developing family-based alternatives for children in institutional care, including reintegrating them with extended family or with foster families. Furthermore, we work with children, families and communities to ensure that they are able to reject harmful practices, respond to violence against children, discourage family separation and adopt positive social norms.
Education
Providing inclusive and equitable quality education for every child.
Current Situation
The Government of Kenya has allocated significant budget to education, to implement reforms such as the Competency Based Curriculum and 100 per cent transition from primary to secondary school. However, issues such as poor-quality teaching and large class sizes still affect the quality of children's learning. The pupil-to-teacher ratio remains very high in some counties, such as 77 to 1 in Turkana. Many school going children from marginalized families still struggle to get learning materials such; exercises books, pens, geometrical sets among others.
Sports Aid Africa's response
SAA seek to work closely with the Government, donors, civil society and communities to help increase enrolment, retention and learning outcomes for girls and boys in pre-primary, primary and secondary education, particularly in arid and semi-arid land (ASAL) counties and informal settlements. We focus on involving all girls and boys in education, including those with disabilities. We also concentrate on innovation, refugee education and alternative ways to provide basic education.
Nutrition
Improving the livelihood of children in our program by providing them with nutritional food.
Current Situation
In Kenya, more than a quarter of children under the age of five, or two million children, have stunted growth. Stunting is the most frequent form of under-nutrition among young children. If not addressed, it has devastating long-term effects, including diminished mental and physical development. In addition, 11 per cent of children are underweight, with four per cent wasted. Wasting and severe wasting are linked to increased and preventable deaths among young children.
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
Improving children’s access to water, sanitation and hygiene.
Current Situation
TSignificantly more Kenyans have access to safe drinking water (59 per cent) than to basic sanitation (29 per cent). Since 2000, access to safe drinking water has increased by 12 per cent, while access to basic sanitation has fallen by five per cent. In Kenya, 9.9 million people drink directly from contaminated surface water sources and an estimated five million people practice open defecation. Only 25 per cent have hand-washing facilities with soap and water at home. Safe drinking water, basic sanitation and good hygiene practices are essential for the survival of children. Global evidence shows that better water, sanitation, and hygiene could prevent the deaths of 297,000 children aged under five each year globally. Achieving universal access to drinking water and sanitation by 2030 will be challenging given current levels of investment, projected population growth and climate change.
Sports Aid Africa's response
SAA seek to work closely with the Government, donors, civil society and community to help increase children and families’ access to safe water and basic sanitation, especially in the arid and semi-arid land (ASAL) counties, where this is lowest. We innovate to find new ways to provide water in the face of increasing droughts caused by climate change.
