Building Digital & AI Readiness
SCN Kenya is placing a strategic focus on the transformative—and potentially disruptive—role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in vulnerable communities. We recognize AI as a double-edged tool: it can either accelerate progress or deepen inequality if underserved populations are left behind.
To address this, in 2025 we launched the SCN Community AI Survey across all regions where our network operates. The survey was part of a broader, ongoing dialogue within our network, where community members actively explore how AI is shaping their opportunities and challenges. To ensure no one is left behind, SCN Kenya offers regulary online AI training for NGO staff and community leaders.
Highlights were a panel discussion during the Making More Health Together Conference in Germany and locally the Big AI debate 2025 with the communities. In a rapidly digitizing world, digital inclusion is development. By empowering communities to understand and use AI, we’re laying the groundwork for: More efficient health, education, and livelihood programs, Data-driven decision-making at the grassroots level, Stronger local leadership in tech-enabled development.
“We are happy to be with students who volunteer at our centers. It is so impressive them sharing computer & AI knowledge. This is very important and helps to innovate and learn from each other” (Chrisantus Ongulo, GAASPP, SCN Core organization)
Breaking Cycles of Early Motherhood Together – A Strategic Focus of SCN Kenya
Early motherhood disrupts education, limits economic opportunity, and affects entire families. Since 2024, SCN network has been working together to help teenage mothers reclaim their futures and break cycles of poverty.
The Challenge:
In counties like Bungoma, many girls become mothers before age 18, leaving school and facing lifelong barriers. Their children often struggle with access to nutrition, healthcare, and early learning — reinforcing disadvantage across generations.
Our Response:
Across SCN centers, we provide prevention sessions, life‑skills and income‑generation training, mentoring, and integrated support for young mothers and their children.
We collaborate with local NGOs, nurses, teachers, faith leaders, and mental‑wellbeing trainers to ensure holistic care.
One core partner, Solasa, even organized a community soccer tournament to raise awareness across SCN locations.
A Growing Model for Change
With support from ChildFund Deutschland, the German government (bengo/Engagement Global), and Boehringer Ingelheim Corporate, we are implementing a major initiative in Mbakalo Ward with our core partner CHWI.
It includes:
•A community counseling and training center for teenage mothers
•Support to complete school or pursue vocational skills
•Adolescent Mentorship
•Clubs in schools and churches
•Awareness programs for parents and young fathers
•Cross‑regional knowledge sharing across the SCN network.
This work is more than a project — it is becoming a scalable model for long‑lasting change.
A key milestone was our Teenage Mothers Conference in January 2026, bringing partners and young women together to co‑shape solutions.
By combining education, health, protection, and community engagement, we help young women build secure, self‑determined futures. Interested in supporting us?
Strengthening Farming Communities for a Resilient Future
Experience how community‑proven farming solutions grow and scale.
SCN strengthens Kenya’s farming landscape by connecting community‑tested agricultural solutions with partners who can expand them.
Through our network, farmer groups, agri‑enterprises, NGOs, and county governments exchange regenerative practices, climate‑smart technologies, and market‑linkage models that already work on the ground.
Our collaboration project on organic farming with BMZ (Germany), supported by Boehringer Ingelheim and in collaboration with ILD, is currently under development — bringing additional expertise and momentum to the sector.
Instead of isolated projects, we curate a portfolio of scalable agricultural solutions:
from resilient seeds and water‑efficient irrigation to youth‑led agri‑innovation, soil restoration, and decentralized training hubs.
For investors, businesses, and international foundations, SCN offers one trusted entry point into coordinated agricultural collaboration — where every contribution strengthens value chains, improves climate resilience, and expands economic opportunities for farming communities across Kenya.
Interested in collaboration? Contact us. We run also solar, water, biogas and other activities.
SCN Kenya & India Hygiene Impact
SCN Kenya helps strengthen hygiene practices across schools and communities by connecting proven WASH solutions with the partners who can expand them.
Through our network, local NGOs, teachers, and health workers deliver play‑based hygiene education, menstrual health awareness, and low‑cost sanitation improvements that shift daily habits in real and lasting ways.
Instead of scattered interventions, we spread a curated portfolio of effective WASH methods—including the successful SCN WASH Toolkit—so behaviour change can travel quickly across regions and continents.
Interested in supporting our implementation toolkits?
You can sponsor a kit — including the game box and teacher training — reaching 200 students per box in the region you choose. Fix prices, transparent, direct.
Everything else is delivered locally, and reporting is included.
For companies, donors, and foundations, SCN offers one trusted entry point to support high‑reach hygiene initiatives that lead to healthier children, fewer preventable diseases, stronger school attendance, and more confident communities. More options to start in an easy way to collaborate with us:
