Over 63,000 residents in Makueni and Tana River counties will benefit from a new program addressing health issues caused by climate change. Prudential Kenya, through its Prudence Foundation, has partnered with the Kenya Red Cross Society to launch the Climate & Health Resilience Fund, a $100,000 (Ksh12.91 million) project aimed at helping communities cope with climate-induced health challenges. Community Health Workers and local leaders will help integrate climate resilience into health and education systems. In Tana River and Makueni, chronic malnutrition rates among young children are high, at 18.3% and 17.6%, respectively. By focusing on preparedness and sustainable practices, the Climate & Health Resilience Fund aims to help communities better adapt to climate challenges.
