Project Summary
Be a Seedling's program in Marsabit lifts 50 households out of poverty through livestock asset transfer. It combines asset accumulation with financial inclusion to build long-term resilience.
Intervention Areas
Target Population
Problem Statement
Vulnerable households in arid regions lack assets and income sources, trapping them in poverty. They have limited resilience against economic shocks.
Proposed Solution
Distribute livestock assets (goats) and provide training in management. Facilitate inter-household transfers of offspring and promote savings in money market accounts.
Expected Impact
Increased household income and asset accumulation. Graduation of households from poverty to self-reliance. Enhanced economic resilience against future shocks.
Sustainability Plan
An asset transfer mechanism ensures offspring benefit new households. Financial inclusion strategies (savings) and capacity building enable families to manage resources independently.
