Kilifi County faces a severe housing crisis, with thousands of families forced to live in unsafe shanty houses that expose children to harsh weather, disease, and displacement. As one of Kenya's poorest regions, with a poverty rate of 49.2%, many families lack access to clean water, sanitation, and secure homes, leaving them vulnerable to climate shocks and extreme poverty. This proposal seeks $562,000 to construct 500 safe and affordable homes for families living in unsafe conditions.
Kilifi County's housing crisis is deeply linked to poverty, lack of resources, and climate vulnerability: High Poverty Rate - 49.2% of residents struggle to afford decent housing, forcing many into unsafe shanty homes. Impact on Education - Children in poor housing face high dropout rates, especially girls at risk of early marriage and child labor. Water Scarcity and Food Insecurity - Droughts and limited access to safe water threaten hygiene and household stability. Family Health Risks
Our intervention strategy will: 1. Construct 500 Safe, Affordable Homes Use durable, locally sourced materials for long-term sustainability. Equip homes with solar-powered lighting for clean energy. Include rainwater-harvesting systems to ensure water security. 2. Improve Sanitation and Hygiene Build ventilated latrines to prevent disease outbreaks. Ensure access to clean water sources for drinking and household use. 3. Train Communities in Climate-Resilient Construction
To sustain the project long-term, Asante Aid will: Introduce monthly membership fees and annual subscriptions for recurring funding. Engage corporate sponsors and individual donors for ongoing support. Encourage in-kind donations, including construction materials, water filtration systems, and solar panels. Develop vocational training initiatives, equipping community members with affordable building techniques. By leveraging community-driven funding, Asante Aid will ensure lasting impact
