Oxfam, in partnership with the Marsabit Women Advocacy Development Organization, is supporting communities affected by climate emergencies. Through the Survivor and Community-Led Response approach, we are providing cash grants for impacted communities.

We’re putting crisis affected people at the centre of the response, ensuring their voices are heard and shaping decision-making. Community groups are critical actors in highlighting and advocating for changes, identifying solutions, and responding to issues in their own communities in a manner that best serves the community through a bottom-up approach.
