Capacity Building
SHE Foundation collaborates with communities, international and local organizations, governments, and civil society across a range of sectors — integrating health, food security, gender, and access to water and energy into community-based adaptation and resilience building.
Climate Change Adaptation
A key component of our capacity-building efforts is promoting gender equality and the education of girls and women, so they can engage effectively in preventing and responding to climate threats to water, food security, nutrition, and health.
SHE members have supported community participatory capacity-building initiatives to foster livelihoods, food security, health, and women's and girls' education and entrepreneurship since 2015.
Climate Change Impacts on Food Security and Nutrition – Participatory Community Research
The Report Voices for Action assesses food and nutrition security through the eyes of the Maasai community. The report is the result of participatory research conducted by SHE Foundation co-founder Cristina Tirado in collaboration with the African Population & Health Research Center.
The report used photo voice, an innovative participatory engagement method to facilitate participation by a group, that uses photography to capture participants experiences through their eyes.
Energy 4 All
