Our Focus Areas
Climate change and public health are two sides of the same crisis. We tackle both through integrated, community-led programmes designed for lasting impact.
Why Climate & Health Cannot Be Separated
In Kenya, the effects of climate change are not abstract — they are felt in hospitals, in homes, and in harvests. Prolonged droughts trigger malnutrition. Flooding spreads waterborne diseases. Rising temperatures increase vector-borne illness. Air pollution worsens respiratory conditions.
At Naeli Foundation, we don't treat these as separate problems. Our integrated approach addresses the root environmental causes and the downstream health consequences together — because lasting solutions require both.
Climate change is not just an environmental issue — it is a public health emergency.
Naeli FoundationClimate Change & Environmental Sustainability
We design and implement programmes that mitigate climate risks and promote environmental conservation. Working directly with communities, schools, and local partners, we build long-term environmental stewardship from the ground up.
Health Systems Strengthening
Climate change intensifies health risks — but technology is changing how we respond. We integrate digital health tools, data analytics, and mobile platforms into community-driven health programmes, building climate-resilient health systems from the ground up.
Our Approach to Lasting Change
Across both focus areas, we follow a consistent methodology rooted in community participation and evidence-based practice.
Community Engagement
We start by listening. Every programme begins with participatory assessments to understand local needs, priorities, and existing knowledge.
Strategic Partnerships
We collaborate with local governments, schools, health facilities, and NGO partners to design solutions that fit the local context.
Empower Champions
We invest in youth and women as climate and health leaders — training, equipping, and supporting them to drive change in their own communities.
Measure & Learn
We track outcomes rigorously and use evidence to refine our approach — ensuring every shilling invested delivers measurable impact.
